Title: too much talk and not enough action
Product review: I have really enjoyed Goodkind's books until now. The first 4 were exciting, had good character development, and plot. In the Soul of the Fire I felt like I was reading a completely different author. The plot seemed shallow and the characters were not the same people we have gotten to know and love or hate. Kahlen was constantly doubting Richard's feelings and ideas, and then they would talk about it for about half a chapter, then they would finally go and do something. By that time -after the talking about it and reasoning what they would do was not very exciting. We did not see the strength that we saw in Kahlen the first 4 books, nor did we see the same sweet and brave Richard. Cara, the mordsith, was the best character in this book. She was developed very well. I certainly don't think I could produce a book as well as Terry Goodkind, but compared to his last few books it was kind of a let down.
