Review previously placed on my blog:
I'm currently reading The great hunt by Robert Jordan. This is the second book in the Wheel of time series.
I have the same feelings as I had with the first book. Maybe less enthousiastic, because I'm dreading the probably long dragging part in the middle. But we shall see, maybe I will like it more then the first book.
Not really picking this up right now. I don't know if I want to read that long of a book with the same kind of story as the first one to be honest. Don't know, we shall see.
I did still like this book, but it took me very long to read. I'm going to try and read them quicker, that will help. I did enjoy the story and the characters. The thing in this book I find the most annoying is that there are three women in love with the main character. Three! Come on. And maybe even a fourth. I hope that will become less annoying in the next book. Overall still a good book I think and I gave it 4 stars.

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.
