The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2) (Wheel of Time, 2)

I can't believe I'm only just now reading Robert Jordan, but I'm definitely enjoying it. I know some have criticized his portrayal of women, but so far I find the women characters far more complex and interesting than the men, and certainly more powerful!

I could not put the box down by the last quarter, plot was pretty slow before hand.

It's the Wheel of Time. Just read it.

I felt like some consequences of rands behaviours were unexplored and not taken to the end of the line. His boss fight seemed really random. I’m glad there’s the constant striving of main characters throughout the book to be good people. A lot of details were written that served no purpose while other details that could have added psychological depth were omitted. The pace of the whole book was unnecessarily slow until the climax which whizzed by too fast to really feel plausible to me. Personally, the prose also felt obnoxious with its unnecessary wordiness.

Robert Jordan continues to be one of my favorite fantasy authors and this book just continues the saga of Rand and his friends. Really glad I found this series.
