Terry Goodkind returns to the epic Sword of Truth saga in a tale of sweeping fantasy adventure bound to enthrall his growing legion of fans. In Temple of the Winds, the New York Times bestselling fourth novel in the series, the Seeker of Truth Richard Rahl and Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell risked their lives and souls to free the land of D'Hara from the scourge of a magical plague. But in doing so they accidentally unleashed the Chimes, a magic whose threat will reach far beyond D'Hara. Now it has become terrifyingly clear that the Chimes have the potential to bring down all that Richard and Kahlan have worked to protect, and even the power of the Sword of Truth may not be enough to stem the tide of their unleashed magical force. But if the Chimes cannot be stopped, first they will ravage Richard and Kahlan, then all of D'Hara, and then the entire world ...

I thoroughly enjoyed the first 4 books in this series but this one was a bit slow out of the gate. I did find it got better as it went along but I found the ending very inconclusive. There was alot of attention paid to developing characters that had very little impact on the story and I was a bit frustrated with the stalling story line. As usual,Goodkind takes 4 pages to say what could have been said in one page but that is just his writing style and you can either take it or leave it. Typically, the story is entertaining enough to endure the endless run of words. I see the beginnings of changes to the characters of Richard and Kahlan. They seem a bit worn down at the end of this book and have lost some of their superhero appeal. I have heard wonderful things about Faith of the Fallen and I really hope to be re-engaged to the series when I read it but right now I'm only loyal because of the wonderful adventures that Goodkind took me on in the first 4 books.

I've read 6 of the SoT books. And I've enjoyed all of them, some more and some less, but Soul of the Fire had to be the worst out of all of them. It still goes at a fast pace, and it is bearable to read (though some would disagree) but compared to the rest of his series its pretty bad.
I agree with an earlier comment, that he leaves out all the characters we fell in love with in the past; like, Gratch, Verna, Warren, Nathan (my favorite), Scarlet, etc. He spends way too much time building up characters you end up hating and end up dying needless deaths that serve no purpose to the overall plot. Basically, if they weren't really in the story it wouldn't have changed it much. The story could have been told in 200 pages rather than his 500 pages. It just feels like Goodkind needed something to write, and to write fast and it just sort of all was sloppily put together. Certain scenes are funny though, like when Cara is around. But overall, you should read it if you want to continue the series. If you want an awesome book, I would suggest looking elsewhere. I'm a Goodkind fan, but what did Terry do with this book?!

i have read and listend to soul of the fire i have both hard copy and unaadbriged audio cassettes. i personially found that by listining i've gotten a better understanding of the book. i lkie the fact that mr goodkind constantly adds new characters it makes the reading more intresting and intriguing. the book's are not just about richard and kahlan even though there the main characters. it's about a whole world of different people and i've enjoyied the change. i look foreward with eagerness to the 6th book in the series. i am confidant it will be as good as all the rest

Terry Goodkind's series is the best I've ever read.

Great, not excellent
Another great book to add to the series, but after just finishing George R.R. Martin's "Clash of Kings", the best I can give SotF is a 4
