Terry, Terry , Terry. Having got me hooked on the wonderful first three, (and fairly disappointing fourth) you hit me by having a rushed and unnatural fifth. It was obvious that the publishers set you a deadline that you hurried to keep. The magic and purity of the other books was nowhere to be found in this latest installment of the sword of truth series. And what an inconclusive ending! Please write another, but this time take your time to imbue it with the spark that the others had. And why did you have to kill the baby? I could have forseen great storylines with him learning to be a confessor with the gift, and perhaps Rachel being his warrior-protector, along Chase's lines. Oh well. It was still far ahead of the competition.

I'm one of those readers who starts a book and when I see another that interests me, I put the current book down to start a new one. The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind is an exception. This is the first time that I have actually finished what I started when it comes to reading novels. I guess you could say that this is a sincere compliment to Mr. Goodkind. I can't wait until the next novel

Goodkind has done it again, creating a spellbinding magical tale that carries an important message for modern readers. His praises have been sung by many; I only wish to add one thought to the chorus: Kahlan is surely the most well-developed female character in the fantasy genre. My profound thanks to Goodkind for creating a woman with strength, wisdom, beauty AND vulnerability. Few people have the ability to portray a woman in such a caring and well-rounded way. I commend your insight, and envy your wife!

The Sword of Truth series is by far the best series that I have ever read. The end of the Soul of The Fire has left me wanting for Terry to write another to explain everything. After all, at the end of Soul of The Fire, it has made me curious for another book. He has to write another book for the sake of my sanity.

I was looking forward to this book for a long time and I must admit that I was somewhat disappointed with it. First off, I was really ticked at the way Mr. Goodkind threw away really interesting characters. For example Fitch and Dalton. I was also disturbed at the way Kahlan lost her baby. I thought it would be much more interesting to see the baby live into the next one and see an all out war with Jagang and somehow incorporate Shota into the mix because she promised that she would kill the baby. This of course is my opinion and Mr. Goodkind knows best because it is his story but can we please see some more magic in the next one and bring back Nathan.

I have been a fan of Terry Goodkind for a long time . I hope that this is not the last of Richard and Kahlan I love the story very much. I need to find out what happened to Nathan and Berdine and the rest of the people you can't leave me hanging like this I have to know if you are going to write another book about Richard and Kahlan. Please let us Know when the next book will be out Please...............!!!!!!!!!!!!
