Publisher's summary

With Wizard's First Rule and seven subsequent masterpieces, Terry Goodkind has thrilled readers worldwide with the unique sweep of his storytelling. Now, in Chainfire, Goodkind returns with a novel of Richard and Kahlan, the beginning of a sequence of three novels that will bring their epic story to its culmination.

After being gravely injured in battle, Richard awakes to discover Kahlan missing. To his disbelief, no one remembers the woman he is frantically trying to find. Worse, no one believes that she really exists, or that he was ever married. Alone as never before, he must find the woman he loves more than life itself....if she is even still alive. If she was ever even real.

Epic edge: listen to more in the Chainfire Trilogy and the Sword of Truth series.

Critic reviews

"Bond's somewhat understated style and relaxed, steady pace keep the story moving and help listeners sustain interest from start to finish. The characters' secrets and political maneuverings are in good hands with Bond." ( AudioFile)

Enjoyed this Narrator.

Ended the Trilogy well but we will have to see what is written for Nicci's happy ending besides her revenge.

good book

it would have been interesting to see if the wholes in the world could see and know someone under the chainfire spell. otherwise it was a good book well performed by the narrator.

interesting twist

narrator Jim Bond was better in this book than past books in this series. Either I got accustomed to his style or he grew into the characters. There we a couple chapters where you could tell he was "fresh" for the day of recording and not quite in sync, but not nearly as bad as previous title.

I enjoy the story of the seeker, I just wish there wasn't so many recaps of what happened in previous books, I mean it occurs more than once, just through different characters points of view that don't bring much to the story.

I hate this narrator

The caption says it all that needs to be said. He's awful. Story is great as always.

good

I thought I remembered this book and going into it I. didn't remember it being as good as I found it the second time. I did like that this is the first book in the series that doesn't have a rape scene in it... that was refreshing that no one got raped. spoiler alert.

narrator

the man who reads the book makes everyone sound like they are slow thinking when they talk.
