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.

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.

“The winds of destiny are blowing…and we must ride them where they take us.” Last year, I dove into Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series with the opening novel, The Eye of the World, and it was one of my favorite reads. Certainly, Jordan takes from some of Tolkien’s concept in the opening novel, but I think he then builds and expands these concepts, and does his own thing as the series progresses. We must be clear that there is quite an investment on the reader in the second book, The Great Hunt. There are so many more characters, historical and world-building elements, terminology, politics, rules and etiquette, mythology, prophecies, and legends to keep track of. It can be overwhelming. However, I found that all the intricacies Jordan packs in here enhanced rather than diminished the reading experience. The world building and level of thought put into the reading experience is quite profound. (And there is a glossary of terms, thankfully, at the back of the novel that are so helpful). The Great Hunt has several focuses, one of these being Rand having to assume the destiny that lay in store for him, his potential role of being Dragon Reborn. He fights against this quite a bit in the novel, and part of the journey and process is him having to internally grapple with this and bear some responsibility for the future. The main crux of the plot concerns Rand and others having to go on a long, perilous quest to retrieve the Horn of Valere, which must be found before the great battle, and also reclaiming a cursed sword to save Mat’s life. Meanwhile, Nynaeve and Egwene are busy training be Aes Sedai. What I like about this book is how Jordan gives the characters more prominent roles and more distinction. Characters such as Mat, Perrin, Egwene, and others feel more flushed out in this one, and there are also some new secondary characters who figure in key moments in the plot. Along with this, there are themes such as honor and the nature of responsibility and destiny. Also within the framework is the battle between the forces of good and evil, and there are some diabolical villains like Padan Fain that Rand have to continually contend with on their journey. “The Wheel spins us out of its purposes, not ours, to serve the Pattern.” – Artur Hawkwing To me, though, the most epic and absolute best part of the novel is the conclusion. Jordan takes several subplot and story lines and conflicts and weaves them together so nicely at the end. The final five or six chapters are so epic, action packed, and it feels like everything comes together so seamlessly for a grand finish and climactic confrontation. A perfect way to finish and set up the next book, The Dragon Reborn. I’m really enjoying The Wheel of Time series so far, and glad it showed up on my radar. Fans of epic fantasy and adventure should check this one out. It is a bit of an investment, but well worth the reward for the entertainment value.

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!

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!

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!!

This book was simply amazing and fast paced from the start to the epic conclusion.The book is basically divided according to into three parts : 1.Fal Dara 2.Hunt 3.Senchan The book basically starts with our group of heroes who we last saw in Fal Dara, but in this book Rand slowly starts to discover what it takes to carry an heron marked blade.We are also introduced to some new characters like Ingatar and Heurin in this book and not to forget Captain domon who rescued Thom Merilin and Rand in last book with his ship spray. Ingatar was truly a superb character for me in this book from the start to last, basically as the cover says this book is about the hunt which starts once some events take place at Fal Dara.for the hunt our group of heroes Mat,Perrin and Rand go after trollocs who have stolen a thing of high value for the dragon reborn.Nyaneve and Egwene head off to white tower as was the foregone conclusion in the previous book and meet some of the characters which we met in Eye of the world. I found the hunt part very much absorbing to read and the time warp part in which Rand and Heurin are lost is also superb.Rand very much matures as a character in this book, but Mat remains the annoying one who always seems to speak wrong things at the wrong time and Perrin keeps on sulking about his wolf powers in this book too. The ogier stedding part was also good to read where in we come to know more about the ogier who is accompanying them, but the fast paced part of the book was all the action which takes place in Senchan, it was written quite superbly except for typecast part about Egwene written in the end. I found this book better than Eye of the world because the story and plot seems to advance very fast, which was not the case in start of Eye of the world.The only annoying part is Jordan typecasting his male and female characters, due to which the boys are always astounded by the girls and girls seem to think boys as wool headed fools.

I read that this is the highest ranked book in the series, and with good reason. So much action and uncertainty! I love the world Jordan has built, the characters feel so alive and three dimensional, a gorgeous adventure. I already purchased the next book a few chapters before I finished this one, it's definitely a must read for me, I'm just glad there is still so much adventure left!!

Slightly shorter than Eye of the World, but slightly faster paced, the Great Hunt matches the bar set by the original and drives the story forward. The two things about the Wheel of Time that I enjoy the most are probably the characterization and the worldbuilding. The various cultures and lands are well-fleshed out, and Jordan develops every place that the heroes stop by on the adventure. Shienar was an excellent example, along with Tar Valon. The characters are at a high caliber, the writing is well-done and descriptive, the story is excellent, the plot is slightly tighter than the first book, and Jordan manages to incorporate some of the grit of real life without turning this into an R-rated book. . . .Though I admit it would probably have been better if he had. ;) Minor bits of goodness mixed in include: The concept of the Heron-mark is cool, the characters' magical powers actually progress over time (I wish Terry Goodkind had copied THIS part instead of ripping off the Aes Sedai), the plot is complex and requires intelligence to keep up with, no ham-handed messages or foreshadowing, realistic take on learning and using swordplay, and some definite moments of hilarity. Sad to say, there are still a couple of problems. Some of the characters are starting to get on my nerves, particularly Nynaeve, who never develops out of her two-dimensional role. Egwene is working her way up there, too, though she's not very annoying compared to Nynaeve.I'd also like to know what strange problem is inducing the female characters to "sniff" every few chapters. The plot is good most of the time. There are a few definite places where it moves along a bit slowly, though it is an improvement from the first book. I have the same problem with the Wheel of Time that I do with the latter books of a Song of Ice and Fire; there are too many damn chapters where we're taken away from the action and getting into the heads of random people along the way. If an author does this, then we should at least be taken right into some tense excitement somewhere. I don't really care about Bayle Domon mulling things over while gloating over his cuendillar collection, or some exotic goons from across the sea arriving to take over villages and make them swear oaths of loyalty. Can we get back to Egwene/Elayne at the White Tower and Rand/Mat/Perrin hunting the Horn, please? The plot is wonderfully structured and engaging and all, with a better resolution than the first book, but that sometimes makes the interruptions all the more annoying. The Great Hunt is at times frustrating, but patience is rewarded with a good storyline and characters. A solid 4 stars out of five.
