The Great Hunt


The Great Hunt is the second book in the Wheel of Time series; here we find Rand & company attempting to recapture the Horn of Valere, and in the process traveling from the Borderlands to Toman Head.

 The Seanchan are introduced, a seafaring empire that uses the One Power in battle.  They have occupied Toman Head and stand as adversaries against the peoples of the mainland.

 Egwene and her female twins are featured heavily, although their story here is solid, not drivel as in some of the later books.

 Overall it is about on par with the first one for quality, but has less variety, as it is very focused on the hunt for the horn.



 8.7/9
