Summary: 6 stars
Review: After reading the first three books in the sword of truth series I thought it humanly impossible to write a sequal that surpasses them all, but that is exactly what this book has done. It is the best book in the series and probably my favourite book ever -- there should be a higher rating for books this good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Terry Goodkind is the best fantasy writer out there.
Review: Not even J.R.R. Tolkien can stand up to the depth and plot twists in this GREAT book. By far the best book I've ever read...until Soul of the Fire!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Down we go...
Review: I think I am losing interest. Does it seem like the enemies are getting less and less major as the series continues? I don't even know who the bad guy really is in this one! Goodkind is a master storyteller. The characters are truly engrossing. The magic system and the world are wonderful. But the story never slows down! The main characters haven't seen each other for a long time, and no one just sits and reflects! I'm getting tired of the hectic ruch from one crisis to another. And the crisis always seems a bit contrived. It seems like Goodkind was a bit surprised by the great reactions to the first book, and is just hanging on to the characters because they sell books. I think that Goodkind is creative enough to make some new characters and start a series with a series in mind. Start with lesser villians. After defeating the Keeper's agent on earth, a telepath seems a little weak, don't you think? If you liked the first books, read this one. But, I feel that it is much less than the earlier books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Worthy addition to a great series
Review: Goodkind has managed to take a genre that was in danger of becoming a parody of itself and injected it with new life. Wizards first rule started in a very familiar way. To be honest my first thought was "here we go again",but the author through vivid imagery and exciting action sequences proved me wrong. Terry Goodkind's writing is fresh,imaginative and compelling. The two books that followed kept the promise of the first introducing us to great characters and intriguing plotlines.

Temple of the winds continues this tradition but seemed to lose some of the pace of its predecessors.It is also the darkest of the series thus far(and that's pretty dark),that said ,I still finished it in two days. If I have any complaints it would be that at times the main character just doesn't get it! Also at times the coincidenses that take place seem to be a little contrived. If you like "Wheel of Time", or "Thomas Covenant" then I would highly recommend " Sword of Truth"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I read them all back to back and cant wait for soul of fire!
Review: People who read Mr.goodkinds books instantly compare them to the wheal of time by robert jordan and its obvious why we do this ,the similarities are just to close to be coinsidance,but while i was wating for mr.jordan to finally compleat another book i read these .Its like reading a fast paced exiting all the way through jordan novel. Not once did he(goodkind)devote an entire chapter to a main character sitting in a tavern with a spiced tea watching the people go buy waiting for someone special to show up. read this book and read mr.jordans latest A PATH OF DAGGERS,(witch has no begining and no ending and way to much in the middle.)youll stay awake a lot longer with RICHARD and KAHLAN than you will with RAND and EGWENE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!
Review: I don't know how of all of you fantasy buffs can POSSIBLY think that cool writers like Terry Goodkind and Robert Jordan play second fiddle to J.R.R. Tolkien! It's WAY IMPOSSIBLE. It is my firm opinion that any single book of the Sword of Truth Series is better than the whole of the Lord of the Rings series combined! THAT series was the most boring that I've ever read and Goodkind's books are so interesting. I really love it how there is always something new, another enemy to face, while the Lord os the Rings series takes three books to come to the point!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great fantasy novel!!!
Review: Temple of the winds is fantastic! If you were just a teenie eensie-weensie disappointed Blood of the Fold, you won't be with Temple of th Winds. You never what will happen next-of course, if you;ve read the other three books, you know this-and you never want to put it down. Plus, out of all four books, it definetly has the best ending. If nothing else, read it so you can read the ending! As much as I'd love to share my joy with you people, Ik won't give the ending away. So I'll just say READ IT!! and leave itat that. =)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent, pulling, no better words
Review: An incredible book; very realistic unlike most; this is just a point adding to the incredible power. Helps me wish I was out of this boring world into the story. Too good for words. Forget other books. This kicks them off the mountains. I, Jairn Deathharp, Last of the Warrior bards, must and do stand along with the rest. This opens the window. Help me home. I am desperate. And I'm sick of all the technical, critic reviews that many of the rest are. Reading and experiencing is three dimensional, unlike you, mindless followers of Jagang, willing followers. Send your souls to the KEEPER. I AM DESPERATE. HELP ME THROUGH THE WINDOW AND TAKE ME HOME.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is my favorite book
Review: I think people should shut up about the criticism; this is so realistic and involving. In my opinion people criticizing about the action are trying to advance the idea that they are better writers, though they may never have published anything. This book, out of all books I have read in my life, moved and INVOLVED me most.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: entertainment you can feel
Review: Terry's books 1 thriugh 4 in the sword of truth were the most emotinally fired books I have ever read. The author not only puts you there, but you become envolved in the story. Truely a set of books I'll treasure a long long time.
