Reader reviews for The Great Hunt: Book Two of 'The Wheel of Time'
Review summary
Readers broadly judged The Great Hunt as a stronger, more confident sequel that widens the series’ scope while delivering a propulsive chase for the Horn of Valere. Many praised the tighter structure, richer worldbuilding (from the White Tower to the invasive Seanchan and the Game of Houses), and a spectacular, high-stakes finale. Character work drew mixed reactions: Rand’s stubborn reluctance frustrated some, while Nynaeve and Egwene’s arcs earned frequent applause; Mat and Perrin felt underused. Common caveats included a sagging middle, wordy prose, and repetitive tics, yet the consensus deems it engaging epic fantasy that moves beyond early Tolkien echoes and sets the stage for bigger things.
