About this listen

Terry Goodkind returns to the epic Sword of Truth saga in a tale of sweeping fantasy adventure bound to enthrall his growing legion of fans. In Temple of the Winds, the New York Times best selling fourth novel in the series, the Seeker of Truth Richard Rahl and Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell risked their lives and souls to free the land of D'Hara from the scourge of a magical plague. But in doing so they accidentally unleashed the Chimes, a magic whose threat will reach far beyond D'Hara.

Now it has become terrifyingly clear that the Chimes have the potential to bring down all that Richard and Kahlan have worked to protect, and even the power of the Sword of Truth may not be enough to stem the tide of their unleashed magical force. But if the Chimes cannot be stopped, first they will ravage Richard and Kahlan, then all of D'Hara, and then the entire world.

great voice acting not so great narration

I was not a fan of the cadence of the narrator. However, the voice acting was fantastic. Also, its Terry Goodkind, so A+ for the story.

Great performance, story lacks a bit.

There's far too much character development on a few characters in the middle, was bored through most of that as it's not even necessary.

Buck Schirner is awesome.

Well performed, weaker entry

Well read, but one of the weaker books in the series, doesn't really progress the story at all.

Enjoyable but super.super dark

Terry seems to wander off on the story to open up new adventures. it seems a bit sluggish when going on new adventures because it sort of feels like he gets off track too much. Does lead to great world building though.
