Title: Not up to the standard set by previous books
Product review: I was disappointed in the Soul of the Fire. I very much enjoyed the first two books in this series (Wizard's First Rule and Stone of Tears), which were characterized by imagination, interesting plots, and attention to detail. The second two books, while very entertaining, seemed hurried and lacked the depth and level of detail that I found appealing in the first two books.Unfortunately, the Soul of the Fire continues this downward tend. The book seems hurried and superficial. Aside from an amusing (though obvious) parallel with recent political scandals and trendy notions, this book just goes through the motions. The ending is particularly dissatisfying, arriving at a momentous change of attitude with insufficient provocation.In summary, fans would be interested, but I would not recommend the book to first time readers.
