As many authors do after they are on their 13th or 14th book in a series, Terry is getting a little wordy when describing ideas. Some whole chapters that could have been left on the cutting floor in my opinion. The book's pace was slow and the distance traveled was a match. The ending was fairly predictable. Hoping for something a little faster paced next time like they used to be. ( )

Dit laatste deel uit de Richard en Kahlan trilogy was eigenlijk niets meer dan een herhaling van plots uit eerdere delen, zonder dat de personages hun kennis uit die eerdere delen behielden. De zorgvuldig opgebouwde wereld van additieve en subtractieve magie is terzijde geschoven, omdat alles in dit boek valt onder de occulte krachten.

Vond het soms wel heel erg lang doorgaan op bepaalde dingen. Geloof dat er minstens 3x in dit boek verteld werd over hoe Richard en Kahlan elkaar ontmoette.
Terwijl de vijand (halfmensen, gereanimeerde doden) op meters afstand stonden werd er rustig gediscussieerd over hoe hen aan te pakken.

Over het algemeen een aardig boek, dat wat mij betreft zeker de helft dunner had kunnen zijn, of meer actie kunnen brengen. De rol van Sammie (Samantha) was heel erg summier, en had verder uitgediept kunnen worden

Severed Souls takes us on another whirlwind journey with Richard and Kahlan.
The stakes are higher than ever, with surprise twists and turns that I didn't see coming.
I was amazed at the creativity of Goodkind's work as he made my heart pound, worrying over
the fate of the two main characters.

Rated 5 stars. ( )

A differenza del penultimo libro della saga questo scorre bene, non ci sono ripetizionii e la storia è avvincente. Ora si aspetta l'ultimo della saga. ( )
