The Great Hunt, book Two of The Wheel of Time, is where a bit of deterioration begins. The story is still moving along, and it’s all solid … but.

I enjoyed this more than The Eye of the World. The beginning was a bit slow, but it picked up after that. I think the pacing of this book was much better as well.
