This is an excellent second book. I enjoyed exploring this world further and meeting some other factions in the story. I'm not sure about having a McGuffin like the horn, but I guess we'll see how much of a part it plays moving forward. I feel like they tried too hard to flash danger around Selene, and maybe this wasn't yet a trope when this book first came out, or maybe I'm just cynical, but I don't trust her, and it feels like we're not meant to. They did do a great job of hiding that Ingtar was a darkfriend, it definitely came out of left field. I'm not sure if it was warranted, like where'd that come from, but I guess with my thinking on Selene it's kind of like which do you want. It definitely feels like things are being set up for Rand to become much more widely known and actually important very soon, and also for him to struggle with the right way to use his power.
