After The Eye of the World I was unsure how I would feel about this one. I had heard that the story would pick up around the third to fifth book, however this one started opening more to exploring the magic, world and characters giving what felt as a more solid promise for the series as a whole. Where the first felt too much like the Fellowship of the Rings in its pacing, this The Great Hunt started solid and swept me along. The only drawback was the pacing slowed down in couple of places and there was a couple of conveniences given to bring the characters back to the plot.
