Description

Now an original series starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine! 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. For centuries, gleemen have told the tales of The Great Hunt of the Horn. So many tales about each of the Hunters, and so many Hunters to tell of.... Now the Horn itself is found: the Horn of Valere long thought only legend, the Horn which will raise the dead heroes of the ages. And it is stolen. In pursuit of the thieves, Rand al’Thor is determined to keep the Horn out of the grasp of The Dark One. But he has also learned that he is The Dragon Reborn - the Champion of Light destined to stand against the Shadow time and again. It is a duty and a destiny that requires Rand to uncover and master magical capabilities he never imagined he possessed. Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant number one New York Times best sellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.The Wheel of Time New Spring: The Novel 1 The Eye of the World 2 The Great Hunt 3 The Dragon Reborn 4 The Shadow Rising 5 The Fires of Heaven 6 Lord of Chaos 7 A Crown of Swords 8 The Path of Daggers 9 Winter's Heart 10 Crossroads of Twilight 11 Knife of Dreams By Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson 12 The Gathering Storm 13 Towers of Midnight 14 A Memory of Light By Robert Jordan Warrior of the Altaii By Robert Jordan and Teresa Patterson The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time By Robert Jordan, Harriet McDougal, Alan Romanczuk, and Maria Simons The Wheel of Time Companion By Robert Jordan and Amy Romanczuk Patterns of the Wheel: Coloring Art Based on Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time Read more

  • Great epic fantasy
It will be impossible to review each of these books separately, as the story has to be read from start to finish (yes, all fourteen books). This series really is a true epic fantasy, and I have loved it ever since I read my first part back in 1997. I got that book from my then boyfriend our first Christmas together, and I use to joke and say that was the reason we eventually got married (we're celebrating our 30th anniversary next year, and the books are still amazing). This series really is unique, and to me it has a little bit of everything. The characters are great and very well written, and the magic system really is one of a kind. The world building is amazing, and all the different cultures in the different countries are very well written. I love all of the different monsters, even though I find the Myrdraals particularly spooky. The story is such an adventure, and the books are fantastic. Every fantasy fan that likes a long epos should really read all of them. ... show more

  • The Great Hunt is a Great Second Book to a Great Series.
With "The Great Hunt," Robert Jordan continues to build on the momentum produced with the first book, "The Eye of the World." Rand knows he can channel the One Power and is told he is the prophesied and feared Dragon Reborn, destined to save the world while destroying it at the same time. The Horn of Valere is stolen and with it a tainted dagger Mat relies on to survive. The Children of the Light plot on Almoth Plain while invaders from across the sea threaten the land. The Black Ajah stirs in the White Tower and Dark Friends carry out their master's wishes. Even with all this excitement, two aspects make this good story into a great story: - Rich Characterization that make characters seem like real people - Complex subplots that merge together at the end to produce a grand finale In my opinion, the best aspect of Robert Jordan's writing is his ability to produce multi-dimensional characters. Jordan so successfully provides each of his characters their own distinct personality, likes/dislikes, conflicts, goals, and relationships with other characters in such a way that they seem modeled after real people. At many times in the book I think to myself: "Hey, I know someone like that." Mr. Jordan seems to have given much thought into how "normal," simple-folk would react to extraordinary situations such as being told they must save the world from destruction or that all the monsters you were scared of when children are real. One reason why I was hooked to this book (rhyme unintended) was in seeing how the characters I grew attached to after the first book would react to their new lives: - will Rand accept that he is the Dragon Reborn; how would his friends react to him knowing he can channel? - will Perrin accept that he can talk to wolves or will he try to deny it? - how will Egwene and Nynaeve handle training at the White Tower? Robert Jordan has a way of making the reader care about the characters, hate the villains and take sides, despite knowing that the book is fiction. This ability is especially rare in the fantasy genre where though a story may be good, characters are usually wooden and clearly fearless "heroes" that are hard to identify with. Another reason why I like the book is in the manner in which seemingly unrelated story threads are masterfully brought together at the end of the book in an enormous climax. This strongly reinforces the idea portrayed in the book that one cannot escape duty and that the lives of everyone are tied together to help fulfill an ultimate meaning or destiny. It provided for a very satisfying conclusion and several hours of lost sleep! That said, the above reason can also lead to some of the negative aspects of this book and other Robert Jordan books I have read. The beginning can be slow and seemingly directionless with all the separate story threads. Also some subplots are more interesting than others. However, at the end when everything converges, the book becomes truly addictive. Ultimately, "The Great Hunt" by Robert Jordan gets my highest recommendation primarily because of its rich characterization and masterfully handled subplots. A word of caution though, be sure to read book one first or you will be lost. Also, the series is extremely long and after getting hooked, there is no turning back! ... show more

  • alternates between boring and brilliant
honestly, this book had me so frustrated because i was alternatingly riveted and bored stiff with different parts of the book. the first several hundred pages dragged on and felt overly lengthy, whereas the last 200 pages flew by and, thankfully, made me glad that i had stuck with it. if the book had been at its best throughout, i surely would have given this a rating of 4.5 or 5, but the lulls really dragged me down. in the first book, Eye of the World, Jordan introduced to us his massive world of characters and lands, our foundation. now, in The Great Hunt, we naturally expect to build upon that. and we do, but not as much as i'd have liked. the story centers around the epic hunt for the horn, but surprisingly, the horn is in hand at the beginning of the book. it is only when it is stolen that the real hunt begins. in addition to the hunt, we follow Egwene and Nynaeve, the Two Rivers women, to Tar Valon to begin their training as Aes Sedai. as was the case in EotW, the women are such strong characters that it is difficult not to appreciate them. " There is an old saying here in the Borderlands: `Better to have one woman on your side than ten men.'" the character development continued to be good, but seemed unbalanced, weighing most heavily on Rand, and at times Egwene and Nynaeve, but there was much to be appreciated there, particularly with the women. the training in Tar Valon, their friendships with Min and Elayne and in the end, their hardships were by far my favorite scenes in the book. in addition to the continued development, there were some great new characters that were introduced, but since i could spend days writing about each of them, i'll skip that and just say that jordan is a master of characterization. however, i was irritated that there wasn't much improvement in the maturity of the boys, "the Blacksmith, the Swordsman and the Trickster". i had really expected to see some standout development there, but we still have plenty of time for that (10 books to be exact), i suppose. i'm afraid that if it continues much longer, though, that i'll hate them by the time this is all over. although i loved Perrin in the first book, his character was stuck wallowing over his misfortunes and seemed nearly unimportant here. and Rand and Mat bickering throughout didn't help either. the best part of following the boys was the alternate worlds that jordan created, with the Ways and the portal stones - bringing a great sci-fi/quantum physics feel to the books. ** POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT ** the primary underlying theme throughout all of the travels and character development was the recognition that Rand is, in fact, the Dragon Reborn (as the title of Book 3 suggests). his reluctance to admit to his destiny almost proved that he was the only one who could fulfill the role. everyone that he met acknowledged that he was ta'veren, along with the other boys, and although i understood his hesitation, i wanted to shake him and hurry him along to become who he was destined to be. however, i did appreciate Rand's honest vulnerability regarding his power, which he was slowly coming to terms with throughout their travels. " He wanted to save Mat and stop Fain, but he did not want to touch saidin. He was afraid to channel, and he hungered for it like a starving man for food." ** END SPOILER ALERT ** all in all, i enjoyed the book and will definitely be continuing on in the series. however, i really hope that Jordan is able to focus the writing a little more and provide some consistency in his brilliance. there is no denying that he writes well and that when it is good, it is great. i hope that the boys really develop into noble men, rather than the annoying boy heroes that they are. and, i can't wait to see what is in store for the women! ... show more

  • very good and different from series!
Format: Kindle
I was so so so soooooooooo bummed when the series got cancelled, so now I’m reading the series and it’s been a delight! I WISH they would continue on with the tv series because as I continue I’m sure more things will be different of who lives and dies, the whole change of Selene from the tv series to the book, Min, Ingtar (!!!)— pretty much everyone lol. It’s great. It’s an interesting experience to have the tv series characters take over, versus reading the book before the series— which is my normal!! Great book!! Will continue reading but…. RENEW THE TV SERIES!! ... show more
