Wheel of Time 2: The Great Hunt

The Great Hunt
Robert Jordan
1990
5/5

The second book of the brilliant Wheel of Time series begins in Fal Dara where our protagonists are resting after the events in book 1. Rand, Perrin and Mat join the hunt for the Horn of Valere and are for a while on their own without (so it seems to them) Aes Sedai interferance. While Egwene and Nynaeve travel with the Aes Sedai to Tar Valon to learn to control their use of Saidar and become Aes Sedai. This book switches frequently beween the adventures that the boys from Emond's Field are having and those that the girls are having. Towards the end of the book all of these characters are drawn together again on Toman Head.
This book is as brilliant as the first book, it left me totally hooked and wanting to find out more. I have read this book several times (9 to be precise) and every time I read it (and any of the other Wheel of Time books), I find more layers to the story.
