![]() ![]() And there is a lot in The Great Hunt that causes me to roll my eyes. The Great Hunt is not bad, but there is just nothing that gets my heart pumping, no reason for me to recommend this over any of the other great options out there. ![]() In the end, the McGuffin overwhelms an otherwise perfectly good attempt by two female protagonists to save another (which was probably the best part of the book, which makes the development extra frustrating) – and so our main character Bland, eeeh, I mean, Rand, saves the day in the end. In the first few chapters, the bad guys steal the McGuffin and for the rest of the book the good guys and the bad guys variously chase one another as they nick the McGuffin off each other. The Great Hunt pretty much picks up where The Eye of the World left off. ![]() ![]() Essentially, I feel like The Wheel of Time is ultra-generic middle of the road fantasy that is comfortable, but not interesting. My opinion of The Wheel of Time didn’t really change after reading The Great Hunt. Listened to the audiobook with Michael Kramer and Kate Reading (like the first book in the series) – fine narrators. ![]()
