Summary: STOP CRYING OVER RACHEL AND COMPANY
Review: I have not read the book yet, since it is not out in Holland yet. But I have read some of the above reviews and I am getting tired of all the people who want to hear more about gratch and rachel..They are still on the same world as Richard and will turn up again in time. But I do not think it is necessary that they are present all the time. They have a life off their own you know!Either in the woods (grath) or in westland (chase and rachel). The story(s) is mainly about Richard and Kahlan and about their feelings and emotions. That is what makes TG books different than those of for example R.Jordan. I hope TG writes 10 books! I only think that the next book should be about getting rid of Jagang.

Summary: This book was VERY disappointing
Review: What a shame! The first 4 books in this series were excellent, Soul of the Fire was not. Who cares about Anderith? This book did not get going until chapter 52 and I certainly hope book 6 is much much better than this. This series is by far the best in publication, I would hate to see this book bring down the rest of the series. Book 6 needs to be dramatically better.

Summary: Good addition to series, but not the best of the series
Review: I love this series, but I was somewhat disappointed by this latest installment. I am eager for the next in the series and will buy it immediately upon release. Terry left the climax to almost the very last few pages, and seemed to summarily wrap it up. I had to re-read the last part of the book several times to truely understand what was implied for resolution. I find most of Terry's work very gratifying in the detail of atonement, this ending was rushed. I still give it a 4 star due to the rest of the series, but alone this book would not merit this rating. I do actively recommend the series, and can't wait for the next book.

Summary: Seemed like Mr. Goodkind himself is tired of this series.
Review: I was very impressed with the previous Sword of Truth Books, I loved the conflict between Kahlan and Richard and the conflicts within themselves. The ideas were new and the storyline complex enough to leave me pondering. However, Soul of the Fire (where did this title come from?) was a major disappointment. Chicken monsters? CHICKEN MONSTERS??? Where were our heroes? We spent a goodly time learning about corrupt politics in Anderith while we followed the antics of an unintelligent slave boy who has no character and regularly engages in gratitous violence. I felt that the book ended without any closure...Richard was never told that his soul belonged to the chimes and Zedd never found out about Du'Chaillu, Richards 'other' wife. I truly felt that Mr. Goodkind himself was tired of his characters, and perhaps tired of his genre all together.

Summary: Better luck next time
Review: I am a great fan of this series, unfortunately I didn't like this book as much as the others. I would have like a better developement on Richard with is new found powers. When I finished his previous book, I thought that in the next, he is going to find Zedd and will be able to control his power now, that's gonna be cool. Nope, they found Zedd, talk to him for a day (nothing relevant) and then they're off walking...for about a month or so. Why don't they invent car or something, it seems to me that they are doing a lot of walking lately. We do have a wonderful introduction to the Haken and Ander people...I DON'T CARE! I didn't buy this book for a story on someone who's getting a disease by a prostitute of all this. If your like me though, you won't listen to what I say and your gonna by this book, and the one after simply because your a fan.

Summary: mediocre!
Review: I think tSoT is still the best book in the series. This one, tSotF, appears to be a side-tour of sorts and is good reading at first but fails miserably in the end. The last part of the book appears to have been written in a hurry (maybe to meet a deadline) and was so anticlimatic. A lot of questions remain to be answered. Among them, where's Adie? What about Chase? And Nathan?

Summary: Keeps You Hooked!!
Review: Do not listen to the negative reviews! Read it for yourself and find yourself anxiously awaiting the next. While the book is not quite up to the standards of the others in the series, it still holds you captive. Terry Goodkind is definitely on par with Jordan. I am really looking forward to the next in the series. Goodkind alludes to a return to the Westlands, where we hopefully will see Chase and Rachel once again. The author creates enchanting characters to love and hate, who, like all of us, must choose between a bad decision and a worse decision. Goodkind's characters never have good choices and have only to do the best they can. Those who have given bad reviews are going to kick themselves for not seeing this series through to the end. Should we have ended Donaldson's Unbeliever series just because the one tree was substandard to the series as a whole? Soul of Fire is a wonderful continuation of Goodkind's series and stands on its own. If you don't believe me, read it for yourself!!!

Summary: Master Thon: Thou Hast Been Wrong!!
Review: I Have Read ALL Books Of "The Sword Of Truth," And Find Thy Remarks About Goodkind's Latest, "Soul Of The Fire," As Well As Things Said In The Past. Some Claim That Book 5 Was A Poor Quality For A Goodkind Novel. Have You Ever Tried To Write A BooK? Book 5 Is What Is Known As A Transition Novel: Meant To Carry The Current Story Line To The Proper Place To Raise The Level Of That Story Line. There Will Be A Book 6, No Doubt, And I Feel That It Will Be The Most Quickly Intensifying A Book Could Ever Be. Just Wait. Goodkind Is A Great Writer, And Shall Not Abandon Such A Great Story. -Master Ignasyo Thon, First God Of Realms

Summary: worst book in the series
Review: I have to say I have been stedily getting more dissapointed in this series. I had hoped he would wrap it up in 3-4 books, but like 'the eye of time' series it is dragging on and on and on. Very little progress really seems to have been made by the end of this book and I doubt I'll be buying more in this series. All in all a dissapointment.
