About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great duology, both parts equally engaging and entertaining, loved the characters and I found the story original, well balanced and interesting. Saskia’s narration was first class as usual.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I enjoyed this book the romance and mystery are well balanced,also the descriptions of the charters. I really enjoyed this book ?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book was full of action from start to stop. It also had political intrigue, romance, strong friendships and lots of killing. The main focus of this story was on the lashed uprising that was threatening the local kingdoms.Rozaria is the leader of the lashed that are fighting against the current rulers. The lashed have been persecuted for just being alive and I can not blame Rozaria for wanting better for her people. Her methods were just barbaric and cruel. She was a great villain because you really hated her but you could also feel just a smidgen of pity for her. Paxton and Aerity have made many sacrifices for each other. I love Paxton's character so much. He truly proved himself in this book. Aerity annoyed me a bit but I really liked that she was willing to make tough choices. My favorite part of this book? Everything Furball! Overall, it was a satisfactory ending of a duology. No high emotional feels for me but it was a good read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Great Pursuit by Wendy Higgins2nd 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.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A much more fun and lighthearted read than the first book.
