Overall, I think I was better able to enjoy the book as an adult than I was as a teenager. The Great Hunt effectively chronicled Rand’s growth. He began the book by running away from what he learned about himself, but along the way he realized that he can’t ever escape from himself. The writing got kind of wishy-washy at times. To what extent was Ingtar actually a Darkfriend? Who exactly was the unseen watcher who kept making micro appearances throughout the book? It’s easy to fill in the vagueness with your own assumptions, but why even leave things ambiguous? It’s an annoyance that I’m going to have to ignore if I’m going to make it through the series. Full speed ahead.
