Soul of the Fire

Goodkind introduces a new group of people and characters in order to work within the larger plot. At times, this book did not even feel like part of the series. The new stories and characters are engaging in their own right. Oddly, there is a lot of repetition in the book, where a character might think the same thing two sentences apart or tell someone the same thing more than once in dialogue. That, and the typos in my kindle version were jarring to me in that they took me back out of the story with the realization that I am just reading a book.
