Rand, to me, is maybe the least interesting character. Matt and Perrin's stories and character arcs are less...generic. Still the hero's journey, but they're just cooler characters.

And I really don't like what they (Jordan/Sanderson) turned Rand into in the last book. Without spoiling anything, let's just say he's too Jesus for my taste. (Even so, I think it's one of the better books.)

Even Aviendha, Elayne, Min, Egwene, Faile, Tuon and Nynaeve interest me more than Rand, as annoying as they can each be from time to time.
