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.

Above average for this series, better than some, worse than others.

The book isn't as good as some either but as the series wears on it slides.

Very good.

Buck Schirner took an above average story and read it so well that my overall opinion has risen. I have read all the books multiple times and while I enjoyed this one it was never at the top, now with his performance it has made it's way into my enjoy it again and again list. thank you Buck.

Well Done

This book in the series is an interesting one to me. The overall storyline is really good but there is a lot of the book focused to develop supporting characters that could have likely been done with half the detail and still maintained the overall story strongly. If you enjoy the series stick with this one and it is worth the listen/read.

Good story but lots of filler.

Look it up I'm serious, go to the 12h 18minutes and 27 seconds mark (11h58:01 remaining). You can hear him squeak a fart out. Nearly died laughing, I thought it was one of my dogs. I had to rewind it 30 times before it stopped being funny. My girlfriend however only thought it was funny for 1 or 2 of my 30 rewinds. Anyways, book 5 of this series is "meh" but the voice actor gave it his all (literally).

The voice actor farted on chapter 36
