Product Description

From Amazon.com

Soul of the Fire is the fifth book in Terry Goodkind's wildly popular Sword of Truth saga. The previous books are: Wizard's First Rule, Stone of Tears, Blood of the Fold, and Temple of the Winds.

When last we saw our heroes--Richard Cypher (Lord Rahl) and Kahlan Amnell--they each had made enormous sacrifices to save one another from certain doom. To save her beloved, Khalan, Mother Confessor of the Midlands, had spoken the three chimes, summoning these chaotic beings from the world beyond and unwittingly releasing incredibly destructive power. Now the chimes are stealing souls, and malevolent forces are reshaping the world itself. To save everything from almost certain doom, Richard, Kahlan, and the wizard Zedd must hunt the elusive chimes and reharness them before it's too late.

Although comparisons to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series are inevitable, there's obviously enough room in the world for more than one blockbuster swords and sorcery series. With Soul of the Fire, fans of epic sagas will get their fill of adventure, magic, strange beings, and struggles for power as Goodkind delivers another thrilling episode of the Sword of Truth, with all the complexity and taut characterization we've come to expect from this master of fantasy. --Adam Fisher --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Publishers Weekly

Seeker of Truth Richard Rahl and his wife, Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell, survive another incredible series of obstacles in Goodkind's sequel to his acclaimed Temple of the Winds. Here, readers learn that when Kahlan used a spell to save Richard from death in the last book, she inadvertently released the Chimes, deadly ancient beings who threaten to destroy the world by absorbing all its magic. Richard's grandfather Zedd goes off to combat the Chimes while Richard and Kahlan, accompanied by Du Chaillu, a pregnant spirit woman who is bound to Richard by an ancient prophesy, travel to Anderith to find the journal of a wizard who defeated the Chimes in ages past. But in Anderith, the rivalry between the Ander and Haken peoples (somewhat heavily handled, with overtones of the author's pro-colonial opinions) threatens to divide the land just when it needs unity in order to defend itself against an invasion by Emperor Jagang's thuggish hordes. After many suspenseful moments, everything comes somewhat raggedly together in a happy ending. Notable for its engaging secondary characters, the novel also evinces flashes of sly wit, as when an evil Chime takes the form of a menacing chicken. Though the narrative sprawls all over the map and the tone can edge too far towards the didactic, Goodkind's ingenious world-building will keep readers captivated by the latest installment of his bestselling Sword of Truth series.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Stall in the Series, Dec 30 2007
This review is from: Soul of the Fire (MP3 CD)
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.

By H. Elsenoun "HS" (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Soul of the fire is like a bridge to the next level of the series. alot of people they can't stand this book they stop reading the series. it's really slow in it's action, kinda boring most of the book and dicussions only or description to everything around you. but as soon as you get over with book in the series you'll love the next "faith of the fallen" is a great come back after reading soul of the fire you start hating your self for reading the book and hating the series but he faith of the fallen bring right back to how you loved the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant exposition of racial truth, July 18 2004
By A Customer
This book gets five stars for it's wonderful tale of the Anders and Hakens. Most may not have noticed that this story is a parable for race relations in our world. The Hakens were people whose education and weaponry were superior to those of the Anders. They conquered the Anders and improved their lives by sharing the benefits of their superior intellect. The Anders, resenting their obvious inferiority, slowly turned on the less numerous Hakens and institutionalized a culture of Anderian guilt and weakness.

This is perfectly analogous to what is happening to white Europeans. Western culture has advanced humanity beyond any other and yet, lesser cultures as found in sub-Saharan Africa are busy trying to convince whites that they are responsible for the horrible condition blacks find themselves in and making whites feel guilty for daring to accept the truth of black intellectual inferiority.

I congratulate Terry Goodkind for daring to tell this tale and hope that the Anders (whites) will one day proudly identify themselves as part of the white race and dare not let anyone persuade them that their heritage is not a great one worth preserving.
