Let's Read Wheel of Time

This is probably a mistake…

Book: The Great Hunt

Publication Date: 1990
The Great Hunt cover

I can not say I remember much about this one, even though I definitely read it. The Horn of Valere is somehow involved, I guess. We'll see.

Let's see, who do we have on the cover?

That must be Rand, with the horn. Jesus, he looks like he escaped from the cover a Hardy Boys novel and then stole some period-appropriate clothes to avoid getting caught.

The dude with the lantern has pointy ears, but the only race that has pointy ears in this universe is the Ogier. Which makes no sense -- Ogier are supposed to be much larger than the average man, but this guy on the cover doesn't look any taller than Rand. What happened to him, then? Was he shrunk?

At first I thought the woman was Egwene, but looking things up online, that appears to be Selene (a.k.a. Lanfear, another of the Forsaken). I don't remember her at all, but I vaguely imagine she is working a seduction angle on our fearless messiah.
