Title: The duology
Review: Wow, its been ages.Okay, to rewind time just a few years (7 give or take)I was reading the Wheel of Time because my brother had gone off to College and I would be damned if his special books sat there unread.I read "The Eye of the World" and thought of Tolkien, whom I was already familiar with.I read "The Great Hunt" and thought of Robert Jordan, as an author I had never imagined.TGH brought new themes to my fantasy reading. The tormented protagonist (ala Rand). The supporting characters who fear their companions (ala Mat). The notion that prophecy was not fixed...that working towards it was noble but couldn't guarantee safety.Looking back, reading on my KFHD, I have to say that TGH has met the match of time. On my re-read, I felt the same connection with the characters, the same fear that things were not as they seemed, and the same eager hunger to read the next in the series. Some of RJ's best work.
