The Sword of Truth series follows Richard Cypher, a young forester intent on tracking down his father's murderer. His quest will take him far from home, embroiling him in an ancient war, three-millennia past, that is about to re-ignite with world-shattering violence.
Jagang, Emperor of the Imperial Order, has invoked an ancient magic, unleashing a lethal plague that sweeps across the land like a firestorm. To halt it, Richard, Wielder of the Sword of Truth, must seek out the legendary Temple of the Winds, a repository of dangerous magics consigned to the Underworld three thousand years ago.
But the path of the Seeker is never an easy one – for entry to the Temple of the Winds comes at a price, and as Richard and Kahlan will discover, the cost of leaving is even greater.

This continues the great storytelling and wonderful characters of the series. I love stepping into this world and getting closer to Richard and Kahlan as they mature in the sequence of books. I've been doing the read/listen but from now on will only read the books and not buy the listen. The narrator fully denigrated the strong female characters by narrating their voices in a high, quavering, weak, unconfident pitch - he seemed to think that was his "women's voice". It was infuriating - particularly when Kahlan spoke and extremely so when a Mord Sith spoke. I mean come on, Mord Sith would not whine or sound unconfident. His male voice was great and commanding but the women were horribly done. I do not understand why narrators feel they need to pretend gender or age in their narration. It's silly and embarrassing - we are not children. When I read in my head the voices don't change, so why must narrators think they need to sound like them. The best audible books I've listened to were read straight, with emotion, but not as an amateur acting studio.Product details

Temple Of The Winds Sword of Truth Book 4 eBook Terry Goodkind Reviews
The overall story is good. But there are so many pages of pointless and redundant explanation it's maddening. It just goes on and on like he thinks his readers are stupid and need to he educated about nonsense constantly. Its seriously frustrating. And then there's kahlan. Why would you make your story's heroine so stupid? She is dumb as a box of rocks, constantly making the same stupid mistakes over and over again and lying constantly to the person she supposedly loves more than life itself...
I loved the first book in this series. The second book was more difficult to get through, but eventually I did. The third book had some interesting story lines, but I started to lose interest. Then this book. Goodkind has stripped his main characters of any interesting characteristics they had. Richard used to be a humble woods guide, but now is an unforgiving, ignorant ass. Kahlan used to be a strong, level headed character who has completely fallen apart (she cries in almost every freaking scene it seems like). All Kahlan worries about is Richard and when/if they will be together, completely forgetting her role of Mother Confessor--leader of the Midlands. Ultimately, I couldn't deal with the over the top sex/rape and torture scenes and the misogynistic undertones throughout the book. If you want to keep your love of these books, stop at the third one.
Terry Goodkind delivers another great book, of which still suffers the same kind of problems the Sword of Truth series has ALWAYS faced.
Terry's writing can really drag on endlessly. He also has a real problem with jumping around a lot, needlessly forcing the book to be longer then what is needed. These books are LONG. If you think you are going to knock them out in a day you are wrong.
There's almost always too many characters to remember and too many subplots going on all at the same time. In the end they usually end up blending together for a good conclusion, but I really wish Terry would start thinking about going a less confusing and complex route. Sometimes I am just not in the mood for Terry's brand of writing.

Even though the reviews are not positive about Temple of the Winds I had to read it for myself because I enjoyed the other three books in this series. I didn’t have any problems reading the book. There were parts that were very well done and entertaining, but it also had some major issues (mostly with the series as a whole)
In this novel Richard and Kahlan spend the entire book trying to save Aydindril from a magical plague, and Ann, with the help of Zedd, continue their search for Nathan. We also get to meet Nadine and Drefan. Nadine is annoying and Drefan is a dark and nasty character. Goodkind did a fantastic job writing them the way he did. He really made me hate them.
The story is slow going at first, but as usual it does pick up eventually. This book goes away from the main plot (destroy Jagang) by creating a sub plot (Jagang unleashes an epidemic) that is solved by the ending of the book. I didn’t find this sub plot to be necessary to the overall story even though it was still entertaining.
There was tons of excitement and action, and I was always interested in reading the few chapters with Zedd and Ann because they were so funny. Really kept me going. The scenes involving the sick children and other people that die around Richard will bring tears to your eyes! I also liked reading about the history of the Confessors and why there are so few wizards.
Although I liked the book there are some things that are just getting old. Everything that is keeping Richard and Kahlan apart has been going on for too long. When will they ever get to be together again like they were in the first book? I also don’t like that Richard is so lucky when it comes to avoiding the consequences of his actions. Everything ends up being happily ever after for him no matter what he does! Additionally, Goodkind’s fixation on sex and violence is starting to become distracting. There is just no end to it.
Even with all the negatives of the book, I still enjoyed reading it and I read the next one in the series.
At least the ending of the book (and the beginning of the next) involves the one thing I have been waiting to read about for a long time!
Not going to lie 90% of this book was incredibly frustrating and depressing with not a whole lot of action. Why I am giving it 4 stars and not 3 is because even though I thought I knew exactly how the horrible things that were written in prophecy we're going to happen it totally surprised me. Also unlike the last book and more like the first two this one felt like it ended at the end which makes it feel more worthwhile. If I had to rank all the books thus far it would be 1,2,4,3. Not sure if I am going to read the next, just so much sadness and torture have been making up the majority of the books lately with great payoff at the end but idk if it compensates enough.
This continues the great storytelling and wonderful characters of the series. I love stepping into this world and getting closer to Richard and Kahlan as they mature in the sequence of books. I've been doing the read/listen but from now on will only read the books and not buy the listen. The narrator fully denigrated the strong female characters by narrating their voices in a high, quavering, weak, unconfident pitch - he seemed to think that was his "women's voice".

It's silly and embarrassing - we are not children. When I read in my head the voices don't change, so why must narrators think they need to sound like them.
