Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Chosen by fate to become the Dragon Reborn--savior and destroyer of his world--young Rand al'Thor attempts to outrun his destiny by joining in a mad search for the lost Horn of Valere. Continuing the story begun in The Eye of the World ( LJ 2/15/90), Jordan creates a lush, sprawling tapestry of a novel in the tradition of Tolkien and Eddings. Recommended where fantasy is popular.

Pressestimmen
“Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal....The battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience....The evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the sense of unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades.”—The New York Times
“Adventure and mystery and dark things that move in the night—a combination of Robin Hood and Stephen King that is hard to resist. Furthermore, Jordan makes the reader put down the book regretting the wait for the next title in
the series.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“The Wheel of Time is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English.” —Chicago Sun-Times
"Read by Kate Reading and Michael Kramer, who breathe life into this epic tale." —Patriot News

I loved "The Eye of the World," and I continued to read The Wheel of Time series with "The Great Hunt." I was scepticle at first, it would be hard to follow up The Eye of World, but I still read it, and I was surprised by how pleased I was. The book starts out with the Amrylin Seat riding in to Fal Dara, and Rand tries to excape her. The story is quite interesting despite my opinions before I read it. Yes, Jordan can blab on and on about things, and when other authors do that than the turns out to have little plot and uninteresting. But when Jordan goes on and on, you really enjoy what he's saying bacause the world that he created in the Wheel of Time series, is an excellent world, and the people and characters are fascinating.
There aren't many new characters popping up in this book. Rather Jordan tries to develop most of the previous known characters. The character development doesn't really change the way you think about a character, or it doesn't change their moods, it simply molds all of the characters, fleshes them out. Loial, the Ogier, is getting a lot neater in this book, he's very fun to read about. You can always relate to what Rand is thinking, he is probably my favorite. Mat, is very pleasing, because of his funny character. Also, the evil Aes Sedia, Liandrin, was quite fun to read about.
The ending was probably the best part of the book. The action is very well-written (everything is well written in The Wheel of Time series). The duel with The Dark One and Rand was the best duel from the first two books. I strongly suggest anyone who likes fantasy to try The Wheel of Time series, but start with the first book, The Eye of The World. I hope you'll enjoy them!

Rand al'Thor and his friends set out on different tasks. Rand, Perrin and Mat try to recapture the Horn of Valere and a dagger from Darkfriends who have stolen these items. Rand meets a strange but most beautiful woman who urges him to use his powers. Egwene and Nynaeve start their apprenticeship in Tar Valon. They are lured out of the safety of the White Tower and face enemies and tasks that can only be overcome if the women gather all of their strengths and resources.
In the midst of a war, Rand has to decide what he wants to be.
This second book is more authentic than the first one. There are still a lot of obvious "loans" of other sf-authors, but Jordan emphasizes the characters and the plot. Jordan even toys with citations of other authors. There is, f.i., a tavern named "The Nine Rings" after a very popular tale.
Also, the story takes on a breathtaking pace and moves so fast you just can't put it down.
If you enjoyed the first part, read the second. You may also just read this second volume and skip the first.
There are only four stars because the World of The Wheel is still not as complex as one might wish for. Everyday tasks are not sufficiently included in the plot, there is a certain density missing that may be found in other SF and makes them real. Still, that doesn't mean that this story does not enthrall the reader. It certainly does and is absolutely recommended reading.

The Wheel of Time books were introduced to me by a friend, and once I started, it was wildfire. I admit that Jordan likes to rant, he likes to put 50+ main characters in his books, he likes to stray. But unlike many of the other authors who do this, you don't really notice and most of all, you actually ENJOY it! I was enthralled by the fact you were enlighted on the training procedures of the Aes Sedai, the military strategy and downfall of the Seanchan, the prejudicial workings of the Children of the Light. I love this stuff. It makes the characters real, it gives them more structures and basis for being where they are, thinking how they do, and reacting to situations differently than the rest of them. Each page fills you with more insight than the first. I cannot wait to finish The Dragon Reborn (the next book), and will eagerly await and read anything that Jordon publishes in the future. If there is an end, I don't see it in sight any time soon. Long live these books!
