(Possible) SPOILER SECTION – No spoilers for this review – I might come back to it in the future, or possibly start writing some discussion posts on the books and characters of the series. Overall, The Great Hunt was the perfect second entry to The Wheel of Time series and I hope the quality is kept up for the next one, The Dragon Reborn! I hope they stop squabbling as much though as it’s getting tired now. What they go through later in the book is harrowing, and I think it will affect their characters for a long time to come. Nynaeve, Egwene, Elayne and Min had much slower storylines than the other characters, but they were all brilliant to read. I hope to see even more in later entries as he’s got a lot to offer. Perrin is my favourite character and it was so cool to see him do a little more in The Great Hunt. For centuries, gleemen have told the tales of The Great Hunt of the Horn. Mat goes through a lot in this book but finds his feet eventually – he’s one of my favourites so I’m glad. Robert Jordan’s number one New York Times best-selling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, continues as Rand al’Thor and his companions set out to retrieve a powerful magical artifact from The Dark One’s Shadowspawn in The Great Hunt. He’s a good character, but he’s so unsure of himself all the time that it can be difficult to read his POV chapters in The Great Hunt without rolling my eyes! Rand has grown into someone I don’t hate too much!

Yes, the story itself was exciting, and we saw even more of the world – both new cultures and new places – but by the end of the fantasy book it was incredible to see how far the characters had come. The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan is more about character development than anything else, I think. Having been introduced to the world and the characters in The Eye of the World,reading The Great Hunt felt like it went a lot faster than the first.
