Customer Reviews

For the serious collector or younger reader.....

What can I say about the story.....it's Jordan; the books are definitely worth it for the cover artwork and periodic inserts alone. If you have children you want to turn on to WOT ("piecemeal" epic with artwork is easier to digest), or just a complete the collection, go for it. Unfortuantely, the whole series is not broken down this way, so you may fel cheated. The same goes for the comic series.

WARNING

The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2) is the original second book in the Wheel Of Time series. It is an excellent book, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in an enormous fantasy series. This book is merely the SECOND HALF of The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2), if you already own The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2) DO NOT buy this book. Why it was ever released is a mystery to me, someone is probably trying to make more money from the series. If you already bought The Hunt Begins: The Great Hunt, Part 1 (The Wheel of Time, Book 2, Part 1), which is the FIRST HALF of The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2), then you should buy this book, otherwise, ignore it.

Remember the Audience!

You can't take this as a whole for a Jordan work. It's meant to open up the series to younger kids, not be just half of the Great Hunt. The same goes for all of these shorts.
