Severed Souls by Terry Goodkind
4.0
Terry Goodkind is one of my favorite authors. The story of Richard and Kahlan will never become old to me. That being said I am not a fan of the walking dead or the whole zombie theme found in the last four books (first confessor, omen machine, third kingdom and severed souls). It is not the way that Goodkind writes about them, it is just that I dont like any stories with zombies. So this book had me at a cross roads. I love the author yet am not interested in a large part of the story.
This story started off with a big zombie battle, but after that there was just a journy, betrayal, a bad guy, and a hero. The last 50% of the book was the classic Goodkind writing that I know and love. Of course I did not like the ending, but I dont like to put spoilers in my reviews. Though I will say it was by far the most emotionally charged book I have read by Goodkind.
If you have made it this far in the series it is a must read. If you have never picked up a Goodkind book start with Wizard's First Rule for the beginning of the story or Faith of the Fallen for the best book in the series!
There hasnt been talk of a next book and if this is the end of his writing then I will be extremely upset, because confessor would have been a better book to end on. This book ends with a lot of questions unanswered. (Crossing my fingers for another epic book!)
