Books Like Soul of the Fire

Read more

Buck Schirner narrates Soul of the Fire across a substantial 24-hour runtime with the straightforward delivery Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series has always demanded — there's no winking at the epic fantasy conventions, no ironic distance, just a committed traversal of a world stripped of magic and the dire consequences that follow. The seriousness of tone is part of the contract. All ten recommendations share that highly-rated reader satisfaction, several come from Goodkind's own catalog, and the list is built around epic fantasy titles that take their world-building as seriously as the protagonist takes his quest.
