I love that RJ gave Rand such a personal, powerful internal problem at the start with questioning his relationship to Tam.
Though it’s easy for us to say “Of course Tam’s your father, silly” this issue was deep and meaningful for Rand and served as…
…a wonderful way to make the book about more than the action. It also foreshadows Rand’s later identity crisis with Lews Therin.
“I don’t know that you are worth it, sheepherder, no matter what she says.”—Lan, to Rand, walking with Moiraine to help Tam.
