Summary: A very nice follow up.
Review: I didn't fully appreciate this book until I had read it the second or third time. I had enjoyed the first book so much that I think my expectations were much too high for this one. Rather than sweeping along in the same high vein that ended the first book, this one moves at a very deliberate pace. There are some great stand-out moments in this book: We meet the formidable Siuan Sanche, Lan takes over the role of male mentor for Rand, the Black Ajah makes an appearance, the Seachan invade, and the Horn of Valere is found. This book is nicely plotted and moves to a great, tension filled climax. It doesn't disappoint.

Summary: Like Sade says, "It's never as good as the first time!"
Review: He blew it. He could have written something principally mind-blowing in this second book, but took most of his chances to develop the world. That in itself is not bad, just that other than Tel'aran'rhiod, there is no more depth to be dwelved into his Wheel of Time idea. However, Aes Sedai are fleshed out with better depth to their overall system of management and given more personality to their belief systems. It serves to almost put them in another culture. Now I read The Great Hunt after reading The Dragon Reborn, so obviously my opinion is somewhat skewed since very little suspense could have been afforded in this scenario. Nonetheless, having read The Dragon Reborn, the characters in this installment seem to be suspiciously acting like sitcom characters, that is they never develop more and only react the same way until you get tired of their lack of emotional depth. Speaking of that, where is it? In the first book, Jordan expressed human concern, sacrifice, despa! ir, discovery and hope, in this it seems the characters are quite removed in their feelings toward their actions. And their actions never tell more about their personality. The dialogue is rich and entertaining, characters like Loial and Elayne are extremely charming and even though I knew something of it from The Dragon Reborn, one plot twist took me completely by surprise and snatched me into an inevitably exciting climax which must rank as one of the most satisfying ever. Whew! It took my breath away, much like the anti-climax of The Lord of the Rings wherein Tolkien quietly ended the most exciting part of the saga with mellow reserve. Bravo! However, there is one revelation which seems contrived and made only to wrench sorrow from the reader, with no great effect. New characters like Selene and the imminent arrival of Jordan's greatest fantastic creation, the Seanchan, keep this book readable and good, but I still can't forgive his lack of "show, not tell" wr! iting and obsession with detail when simply a well-written ! paragraph could serve to impact a chapter just as well. In addition, there are hints of the later books' deplorable sexism coming to light here. Nevertheless, this average tale has a much more creative start than the first, even if it does seem like an after school special between junior high students stuck in a fantasy world. I give it a 7 out of 10 stars, while the original garnered an 8.

Summary: No Sophomore Slump Here
Review: This book had the hardest job of any fictional work in the last twenty years, perhaps. It had to follow greatness and not disapoint its loyal followers. This book not only held its own, it may have surpassed its predicessor. The plot develops into a masterpiece of fictional brilliance, with a classic matchup between two well defined sides of good and evil. The Great hunt tells the story of the quest for "good" to strike a blow to the plans of the dark one's plans. Jordan tells the tale with reguard to particular detail and character development, something most contemporary authors fail to do. THe author lets us into a world solely of his creation with memorible characters and relationships. His ability to create a history for this place leaves the reader mesmorized and wanting more.

Summary: RJ rules
Review: Robert Jordan is by far my favorite fantasy author. The Eye of the World and this book start the series a little slowly, although it picks up later on (and does it pick up!). Although I found this one a little slow, Jordan's eye for detail and cast of characters saw me through. Keep it up, Jordan!

Summary: The Great Hunt is a Great Book!
Review: This book was even better than the Eye of the World. I absoluty loved it! The only bad thing about it was the cover ( I mean, Loial is 4 feet tall, the Trollocs are men with weird helmets, Selene is wearing a dress that has spandex, there is no box for the Horn, etc.), but what counts about a book is what is between the covers, right?

Summary: A correlation of imagination and personal dreams come true!!
Review: These books are outstanding! The Eye of the World was great and following was the hypnotic Great Hunt. Robert Jordan takes you to a place of unbelievable imagery with all the detail included. How can you go back to other books after being on the Robert Jordan fantasy level. I can not wait to hear more about Nyneyve and the rest of the girls. The guys are facinating also but the women have the power!! I will have all of them read soon!!

Summary: The quest continues!
Review: The sequel to "The Eye Of The World" has our band of adventurers looking for the Horn of Valere. The plot thickens in this book as we learn more about the main characters and what might confront them in the future. An exellent quest type book!
