Loial continues to amuse me with the way he speaks. She is a character that I want to learn more about. I also appreciated the addition of the clairvoyant Min. It feels like the wrong thing to say but I enjoyed the gradual deterioration of Mat as he feels the evil effects of that stolen dagger. I’m not decided on who is my favourite character yet. I got to the end of the book feeling like I had a clearer grasp of who they are, their personalities leaving a stronger impression than before. The Seanchan are an intriguing addition to the world and I’m curious to learn more about them in future books.Ĭharacters – Most of the main characters are fleshed out better in The Great Hunt. We also vist the port city of Falme in Toman Head where an invading army of “Seanchan” pose an imminent threat to our heroes. There, everything is different and Rand comes face to face with his nemesis. There’s a very memorable part in which Rand, Loial, and Hurin are transported to some kind of alternate world or dimension. We also discover more about the Aes Sedai. Their individual journeys learning how to use this power makes for a very interesting plotline. We spend more time at the White Tower with Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne learning more about the One Power. I feel like we get a better idea of some of the different settings. Worldbuilding – While the worldbuilding in The Eye of the World felt limited, Jordan expands it well in this book.

I’m not going to describe the plot, instead I will highlight what I enjoyed about the story. A Wakizashi 3-star rating means it was good and I enjoyed it a solid story which was well written but didn’t blow me away. (I’ve been enjoying fellow blogger H.P.’s coverage on his blog.)įor me, The Great Hunt was a 3-star read. I’ll watch the final episode soon then give my thoughts on the whole season.

This time I got drawn into the story and enjoyed the second book much more than the first. I wanted to give the books another chance. I paused my viewing because I picked up a copy of Book 2: The Great Hunt. I know this adaptation has been getting a lot of criticism, especially by fans of the books, but I thought it was well made.

Then at the end of 2021, I started watching the Amazon Studios Wheel of Time TV Series adaptation and got pulled into the story.
