Severed Souls by Terry Goodkind
5.0
You know what? It's a 5 star because it's epic.
The third book in Richard and Kahlan series in a flash, following in a bit.
This is a really engaging story with a battle that goes over 200 pages, more or less. The bad part is that to really appreciate the story here, every small subtle nuance, you have to read through the other at least 11 volumes.
I thought I became numb to emotions in this series. I mean a lot of bad stuff happens you feel the pain. Finally, good things happen, you feel relieved. And it goes on and on. But this book really made me feel again.
The characters that we learned to love and hate are back together again, while the villains are hilariously doing their stuff somewhere else. The villains are hardly present in this volume yet it's their actions that made the most harm. They are more brilliant than Jagang (the previous bad guy, if you don't remember) but in a way, they don't have the same presence on stage, the same strong character, and the menacing allure.
Still, there is enough trouble for our heroes to keep them busy for the length of the whole volume, while they are exploring the backcountry of the Dark Lands.
The ending will hit you hard. Let's hope the final volume delivers.
