Book : Terry GOODKIND - Soul of the Fire

My note: 4/5

Terry GOODKIND - Soul of the Fire is the fifth volume of the collection Sword of Truth. I've already read the 4 first ones last year. The collection is extremely famous in the sci-fi and epic circles of readers.

Action is constant in this book. You never really stop, there is always something going on. And so the book is less slow than the previous ones. For once, the end of the volume is kind of tragic. But the last 100 pages are so intense that I couldn't let the book down (and kept on reading until the end, even if it was already 1:30am!)

If you are looking for a long story about magic, swords, good and bad, this collection is for you. Terry GOODKIND used some knowledge of the present time (the mouth to mouth to save people for example), but the fact that characters are using swords as weapons, burn witches and lords are reigning other their subjects just bring us back to somewhere in the middle age.
