I found 'The Great Hunt' to be an engaging continuation of the Wheel of Time series. Following off from the events of the first book, Jordan dives more into the characters introduced in the first installment while fleshing out his world and introducing more characters that will be integral to the wider story. Where the first book focuses primarily on Rand's perspective, 'The Great Hunt' moves between different perspectives far more. I think this is an improvement as it heightened tension as well as allowing us to see more of the world and what was going on. Even as characters moved apart from one another, we were able to follow their stories. 
There is obviously so much more to explore in this world and I can't wait to continue on in this series.
