- When they head out after Graendal (or rather he heads out and brings his cheerleading section), she is worried about his self-composure, and how "he seemed like a thunderstorm, contained and wrapped up, somehow bound and channeled toward a single goal..." Maybe this assessment comes from the bond, but it is not written as such. It is simply an assessment that anyone who knows Rand could have made while observing him, and RJ was always explicit about what could be observed and what was picked up through the bond (since "who knows what" is important to the main theme of WoT). Now, it might be argued that Min is so dumb (an accusation I have never been shy about making) she needs the bond to tell her what other people only need their eyes for, but if there is one topic on which she is generally well-informed, it is Rand. She was quite capable of making such an observation before they had the bond, and often did.

- When Ramshalan reports Graendal's presence, "Rand's voice sounded so hard. Worse than Min had ever heard it before." NOBODY GIVES A DAMN WHAT HE SOUNDS LIKE, YOU VAPID LIGHTSKIRT BIMBO!!! What is he FEELING?!?! Not a word of the bond.


I never really noticed the lack in the other scenes you have mentioned- but for this one I definitely remember stopping and thinking it extremely weird that there is no mention of anything bond related here or when they go talk to Cad.

Does Sanderson have trouble remembering Rand's warder bond(s)? - 16/12/2009 02:36:57 PM 2066 Views

"Also"? I cited that part in depth. No bond. *NM* - 16/12/2009 04:44:35 PM 210 Views
