Legend of the Seeker - Soul of the Fire [5th book discussion]: It's back to the Spirit House for round two!

[R]tistic · 05-12-2010, 11:44 PM

Richard and Kahlan are finally married and enjoying their wedding night back in the Spirit house in the Village of the Mud People. Soon, sudden and unexplainable deaths begin to occur, and Richard comes to the conclusion that when Kahlan called forth the Chimes in order to save him, they remained free, causing havoc. Zedd sends Richard and Kahlan off to the Wizard's Keep in Aydindril to get a special bottle that contains a spell that will stop the threat.

While en-route, Richard, Kahlan, and their Mord-Sith protector Cara are sidetracked into dealing with the people of Anderith, who have a powerful weapon of mass destruction called the Dominie Dirtch. They find that the leadership of Anderith wishes to surrender to the Imperial Order rather than surrender to the D'Haran Empire. As Richard tries his best to convince the people of Anderith of the danger the Imperial Order poses, he becomes firmly convinced that the Chimes are loose.

The baby part

KILLS ME EVERYTIME!

Especially the fact that she had JUST decided she was going to keep it

And Richard didn't even know

I hated that he found out when she was laying in bed, nearing death. Though, him stopping the attack was awesome and on top of that Du'Chaillu telling everyone Richard was the father of her baby when he didnt even touch her

And even though I knew she was going to lose the baby, when she threw the potion away I was SO RELIEVED

I hated the beginning of the book because there was absolutely no Richard, Kahlan and Cara

then when we finally DO get them ...

moving on, THANKS Richard for beating the crap out of them a*holes cuz if you didn't do it I would've!

I will admit that this was the book that look me longest to read. It was so god damn depressing

.

[R]tistic · 05-25-2010, 05:14 PM

It was mainly politics in the beginning... up until R/K/C show up then it just gets so damn...

I wanted to kill the 'lot of them

Pickle-weasel! · 05-25-2010, 05:54 PM

I actually read this book the fastest, just because I wanted to get to FotF so much

I think I read 4/5/6 in like a blur aka less than a week or something.

But I hated all the time they spent on those useless people who all ended up dying or something in the end. I don't like when the focus if off of R/K/C. Bu yes this book is very depressing

[R]tistic · 05-25-2010, 06:01 PM

I didn't really get the point of this book other than to have Richard move on to the next phase, or actually to be the deciding factor in his decision to not lead the D'Haran army

Pickle-weasel! · 05-25-2010, 06:12 PM

And the magic failing I guess? A reason for Richard to take his injured wife and awesome bodyguard and go live in a cabin?

I have no idea...to be mean and make Kahlan pregnant and then after choosing to keep it for her to get beaten so bad she miscarries

To show that people are really, really stupid?

That's all I got

[R]tistic · 05-28-2010, 07:34 AM

Those are pretty accurate points

sprezzatura · 06-06-2010, 05:57 AM

Whenever I read this book, even thought I find it quite slow in the beginning, I always end up crying during the moment where Richard breaks down when he finds out Kahlan had and then lost their baby.

So freaking sad.
