Synopsis

Book Four of The Sword of Truth—the series first begun in Wizard's First Rule—returns listeners to the world of Richard Cypher, a simple woods guide who never dreamed he would be named the Seeker of Truth and become caught up in magic, war, and dangers so extraordinary that the fate of his entire world would hang on his actions and decisions.The dangerous, fanatical Imperial Order, under the leadership of the power-mad Emperor Jagang and his multitude of demonic underlings, unleashes a deadly plague. To find a cure Richard Cypher and his beloved Kahlan Amnell must seek out the legendary Temple of the Winds, a fortress of evil sealed away for three thousand years. But the path of the Seeker of Truth is never an easy one—even if he can reach the Temple at all, there is no guarantee he'll ever return.

About Terry Goodkind

One would never think that a person with dyslexia would become a writer of novels. However, American author, Terry Goodkind crossed the usual boundary and wrote his first novel, even though he did not receive a formal education. He began his adult life building cabinets and violins, as well as was a marine/wildlife artist. His first novel, Wizard's First Rule, was published in 1994, thus beginning his illustrious career. He is now also a part-time race car driver, and is also a devoted husband and a friend to animals.

To quote Author Terry Goodkind........My privilege in life is the joy of writing books and telling stories about people who fascinate me, the good and the bad.

Goodkind's newest novel is NEST, where readers will be drawn into a world that is dark and evil. He remains one of the most controversial thriller writers of our time.

The change in narrator to Dick Hill was a poor choice. He was unable to pronounce the main female characters names. I was also annoyed that Richard turned in to an overly protective and demanding boyfriend. Kahlan was turned from the strongest woman in the Midlands to a simpering, self-doubting wimp. I hope they get back to normal in the next book.

Goodreads review by Ashley on October 16, 2015

Definitely the worst of these books yet. I almost one-starred it, but the main thing that was making me angry was semi-addressed by the end, so I don’t think this series has quite reached the point of untenable badness just yet. (And I want to save the one star, because I’m pretty sure there is much......more

Goodreads review by Amber on January 30, 2009

Terry Goodkind is a superb author, and in my opinion, his "Sword of Truth" series is the best I have ever read. So good, in fact, that I have read the entire series three times in a row, back to back, non-stop. This series is *not* for children. The series covers many aspects of the dark side of hum......more

An Opinionated Look At: Terry Goodkind's Temple of the Winds By Eric Allen Thinking back on the series, I never really remember much about this book. It wasn't one of the ones that I read multiple times because of how good it was. When I was choosing a book from this series to read, I'd always pick oth......more

Goodreads review by Bethany (Beautifully Bookish Bethany) on April 13, 2022

First reread in over a decade and while this book does get weird, I still had a good time with it. We get ye fantasy Jack the Ripper, a magical plague, Kahlan being a badass (as usual) and Richard being dumb and then having to figure things out and apologize (also as usual). Things can get brutal at......more

Goodreads review by Gavin on July 04, 2019

My 2019 reread of the Sword of Truth series has been a big success so far. I've blasted through the first four books in the series in just over two weeks and have been sucked right back into Goodkind's SoT world! It might have its flaws but I'm finding the SoT series to be an engaging and fun epic f......more
