The Great Hunt is darker than the first and introduces some pretty heavy topics, specifically around the Seanchan. We get more POVs in this book in addition to Rand and the occasional Nynaeve and Perrin, which also helps, because I do find myself getting annoyed with Rand pretty frequently. I found myself starting to connect to and grow fond of certain characters (Loial, Lan, and Nynaeve being a few), which made the book so much easier to get through. Where The Eye of the World focused more on world-building than character development, The Great Hunt took its time to get to know the characters. The Great Hunt fixed many problems that I had with The Eye of the World. Since I’ve spent the past several months doing a deep dive into this book on Not the Beginning, I’m doing another mini-review!
