I really liked a lot of the minor characters in The Great Hunt. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 30/03/2010 12:49:03 AM
Hurin, Ingtar, Verin and Geofram are still among my favourites.

With Light in the Night's The Longest Theory added in, and the climax at Falme (which is my favourite of the three confrontations with Ishamael), The Great Hunt was my favourite book for a good while.
