Publisher's summary

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.

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

Love these books.

I really enjoy all of these books in this series this is a very good book a little painful to hear about a couple things that happen but overall a very good read. This book just like all the others is hard to put down even if you're just listening to it. I listen to these books pretty quickly because I enjoy them so much. This is probably my fourth time listening or reading the series.

Great Voice

The narrator was fantastic, great voice. I really like the Sword of Truth series. I've read all the books and have listened to all the audio. I don't care for Terry Goodkind's habit of restating information from past books. He goes overboard to say the least. I suspect he uses it for filler... With that being said the story itself is very solid and entertaining.

Engaging story. Though both the book and audio book were pretty damn interesting. Good job.

Weird accents and names pronounced differently

The man reading did an over fine job, but it was very disturbing to be this far in a series and have names pronounced differently and assign accents to people who never had one before. But the way he read was good and easy to follow. The story was amazing of course.
