In The Great Pursuit, the dramatic sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Great Hunt, Wendy Higgins delivers another thrilling fantasy filled with dangerous enemies, political intrigue, searing romance, and a princess who is willing to do everything to protect her kingdom.   One hunt has ended, but the pursuit for love and justice continues. The kingdom of Lochlanach has traded the great beast that once terrorized the realm of Eurona for something far more dangerous: the ire of powerful Lashed woman Rosaria Rocato. Rosaria demands that Eurona overturn the laws prohibiting magic, or an innocent will be killed each day. Despite the king's resistance, Princess Aerity believes they must make peace with the Lashed, and though she's accepted a betrothal to the man who took down the beast, she cannot help thinking about Paxton, the Lashed man who stole her heart and disappeared. Aerity soon discovers that Paxton has joined Rosaria's army in the war against her family. Though her feelings for him are still strong, her duty to her kingdom and her family is stronger--especially when her parents are kidnapped and she has to step up to the throne and once again put aside what's best for her in order to do what's best for her people. Paxton and Princess Aerity must fight to see what is more powerful: their love or the impending war between the magical Lashed and the non-magic humans.… (altro)

Fantasy inspired by a lesser-known Grimm tale, The Singing Bone.

The kingdom of Lochlanach has been terrorized by an enormous beast for months. It’s unnatural, seemingly invulnerable, attacks randomly, and can never be found during the day. Countless soldiers and common men have been killed, and the king is desperate to find a way to protect his people. His last recourse is to invite the best hunters from all the realms to a great hunt; the one who kills the beast will be rewarded with the only thing of value he has left to give: his eldest daughter’s hand in marriage.

The second book, The Great Pursuit, tells of the aftermath of the beast’s death and the war that’s brewing between the oppressed Lashed ones (people with magic) and those who fear their power. ( )

The Great Pursuit is the second novel to the Great Hunt, and follows the story of Aerity and her kingdom in their hunt for the Lashed.
While the overall pacing of the novel was a bit slow, it did have a few plot twists that kept me engaged. I'm usually not a fan of multiple POVs, but I liked the use of them in the Great Pursuit because it made the plot more interesting since it let the reader see what the other characters were involved in. I especially enjoyed reading about Paxton and his undercover adventures.
The characters were well developed, and I liked the different relationships between them. The romance between each of the characters was cute and the family dynamics between Aerity, Wyn, and the others was nicely done.
Overall, the Great Pursuit is a solid conclusion to the duology and another good read by Wendy Higgins. I highly recommend it for fans of fantasy and retellings with some romance. ( )

The Great Pursuit by Wendy Higgins
2nd book and conclusion to the Eurona Duology. YA/NA Fantasy romance. Should be read after The Great Hunt.
Terror worst than the conquered beast has hit the kingdom of Lochlanach. People are fighting against each other and Princess Aerity must lead since her parents, the King and Queen are missing. Paxton seems to be on the wrong side of the war so Aerity and her sisters must be brave and use their knowledge of the kingdom to win against the odds.

It’s a great adventure with each of the three sisters being strong in their own way.
I don’t want to spoil the story with too much detail. I will say I admired Aerity and her decisions as difficult as they must have been. I’m extremely happy with the way it all turned out. ( )

A much more fun and lighthearted read than the first book. ( )
