Summary: Best of the first eight!
Review: I write this review after reading the eight books in hardcover. About eight years after first reading this story, I decided to go back and reread all the early books. The Great Hunt, for me, is the best, of the best fantasy saga ever. There is so much going on, I just lose myself in it for a couple of days.

Summary: a fantastic continuation
Review: After reading the first book in the series, I wondered how Jordan could keep things going for another 700 pages but not anymore! I'm really looking forward to reading the next book. My favorite part of the book is reading about how Rand handles his ability to channel. It is full of conflict and I love how the writer makes you empathize with him. I also like the prophecy and how is branded with the heron twice "twice to live and twice to die".

Summary: a few things to think about
Review: This book is great and i love the series, but their are a few things wrong. first, they should getb rid of Loial. He is such a boring character and he just bogs down lines. The whole Ogier should just be erases from the book. Second, the book seem to get very dry and boring from when rand, Loial, and Hurin get lost from the rest until they met Verin and the others in Cairhien. At that time it picks up again. Lastly, i seems that Book 2 is the only book that Perrin actually seems to get mad. He has turned into such a pushover and is just getting annoying. All these men have to take charge. They're all falling apart when the women get mad at them. I know that the women has more standing and power in this series then alot of other medievel serieses, but the women are just getting annoying

Summary: A superb book in a fantastic series
Review: Oh my god, this guy is superb! I have never ever read such good fiction. I read this one in 2 days, because "The Eye of the World' was so good, and I wasn't disappointed, Jordan is a fantastic writer. In each book, you find yourself feeling closer to the characters, thats how well he portrays them. Not only that but they're lovely and thick! I love thick fantasy books. Basically, if you like fantasy even remotely, READ The Wheel of Time sequence! You won't be disappointed. I am so impressed, and tomorrow I will be moving on to book 3.

Summary: If you Liked "The Eye of The World", then read this
Review: "The Great Hunt" is the sequal to "The Eye of The World", and it continues the epic of The Wheel of Time. The Horn of Valere has been stolen from Moraine, and the Two Rivers gang. Not to mention the dagger that Mat's life depends on. At the core of this theft lies Fain and these events set the book in motion. Rand, Mat, and Perrin go after the Horn because it summons the Hero's of the past and ironically can be used for good as well as evil. Another reason for Mat to go is that he can sense the dagger when it is close, not to mention his life depends on it. In the search for the Horn, Rand starts to learn how to use the One Power. However, his lack of control may destroy him yet. All the adventure leads to a thrilling climax at Toman Head, where Rand eventually becomes branded twice the Heron. This book will leaving ready for the next in this grand epic.

Summary: Robert Jordan Sedai
Review: I've never been a huge fan of fantasy, but this series has me hooked in another world. My boyfriend and I are both reading the series and can only marvel at Robert Jordan's writing capabilities. He has created a whole universe that is unbelievably detailed and woven together. It is so easy to get submerged in the world he has created, as it seems so real. Great storytelling!! I enjoyed the first book in the series, "Eye of the World", but "The Great Hunt" just rocked! I believe this book was far more action-packed than the first, which was really just a character/background intro. I am now beginning "The Dragon Reborn" and feel I am learning to channel. ha.

Summary: 'Hunt' continues the story.
Review: 'The Great Hunt' bogs down in the middle. There was a point where I thought 'Of course the hero will prevail. It's an 8-part (and counting) series'. I was right.That being said, the story's numerous plot threads come together marvelously to create a thrilling final 50 pages. Well worth reading. Ignore the criticism. This hasn't become a best-selling series for nothing.

Summary: Better Than The Eye Of The World
Review: Robert Jordan really out does himself. I could really feel hoe the characters felt. Especially when they were angry. It continues where the #1 left off. The Horn of Valere is in Fal Dara. When a few days after in a lot of confusion at night. Someone steals the Horn as well as Mat's dagger. While Padan Fain escapes. This leads Rand, Mat, Perrin, Ingtar, Loial, Hurrin a sniffer(man who can smell where violence was done)and soldiers from Kinslayers Dagger to Toman Head and beyond.

Summary: Not as great but still very good
Review: I was a little disappointed in the sequel, but still felt compelled and interested in finishing the book. I loved every part of this book from beginning to end. Even though, at times, I felt frustrated by some of the slower movements in the novel. Still an excellent read though
