I've been posting thoughts on the wheel of time as I go through my first read of the series. I had made a post before, but I'll see about posting my current thoughts here.
I just finished The Great Hunt! Spoilers following
Great Hunt Spoilers
Wow, what a fantastic listen. Enjoyed it much much more than eye of the world. I didn't dislike the first book at all, but found it hard to really get into the world. This book has solved all that for me. I understand a little more about the different lands, the different factions.
The end of this book was super exciting in a way I didn't really feel in the first one. Matt blowing the horn, Rand fighting the dark one. The picture of Rand finally accepting his place among the legion of shienarans. Listening to it all got me giddy.
I was, at first, apprehensive about the idea of parallel worlds. But I think so far it has been handled well. The other worlds, at least so far, don't seem to be playing a huge part on the main world. I loved the whole sequence of all them living through a ton of their alternate lives.
Overall I must say I am much more excited about continuing than I was at the end of the first book. I'm super eager to keep listening!
I found a WoT fan! Which group were posting to during your read? I found a page but it was all about the tv show, not the books. I just read Warrior of the Altaii and was really hoping to find some Jordan fans who might be able to discuss it with me.
