There isn't much to say besides I enjoyed Soul of the Sword. It started off quite slow with our characters just meandering across the vast land with a sort of goal in mind. However, the latter half of the book really picked up speed and was quite enjoyable.

I enjoyed the characters just as much as Shadow of the Fox and was really happy about a budding romance between certain characters.

That being said at times I felt like the plot was obvious or that our characters were a little too naive. There were points in the book where I questioned why the character's didn't see the very obvious signs or take certain actions that would have made the most common sense. Which would have helped with the slow pacing at the beginning.
