Summary: Terry Goodkind's series is the best I've ever read.
Review: I loved Wizards First Rule, and I think the 2nd best is Temple of the Winds. I like all the books and I love how people feel that they can review this 5th book so harshly...I don't recall seeing them publishing a best-selling series as good as this.

Summary: I wis i could give it 5 stars but i can't
Review: The book was another master peace by terry goodkind. The only part in the book that keeps the book from getting five stars is the disaponting ending. The plot was greatly thought out.

Summary: makes a nice pillow......
Review: I found this book the worst of the lot. The first books were incredible, but they are deteriorating at an alarming rate. Its really time that the story starts advancing, I am sick of reading explanations for people who have skipped books. The Books as you all know are finished off far to fast. I always say to myself "there is no way he can finish off all this plot with 100 pages" and the story is VERY idle. I am still anxious for the next book because I am full of hope that his story line will get better, The potential for this series is great and I know for a fact that Terry can make it a memorable series.Until then, Have a nice rest...I mean read.

Summary: I JUST WISH I COULD HAVE GIVEN IT 5 STARS.
Review: I'VE BEEN READING TERRY GOODWIN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. I LOVE HIS BOOKS, BUT I WAS A LITTLE DISAPOINTED IN THIS ONE. I WAS IN SUSPENCE THE WHOLE TIME WAITING FOR RICHARD TO HAVE HIS BIG FIGHT WITH SOMEONE. IT JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN THOUGH.THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT I WAS LET DOWN ABOUT. THIS IS A REALLY GOOD SERIES AND I CAN'T WAIT UNTILL THE NEXT BOOK COMES OUT. WOULD ANYONE KNOW WHEN IT IS DUE? THANKS FOR HEARING MY VIEWS ON THINGS.

Summary: R. Jordan should sue...
Review: I give this book four stars because, as I wait for the next installments in Robert Jordan and George R. Martin, the Goodkind series has been welcome filler. And I must admit, the story is interesting, though I wish for dark things to happen to Kahlan so the dialogue that makes me feel like I've been dipped in Molasses will stop. And Richard is so goody-goody he's simply not believable; I wish for dark things to happen to him also. But above all, my jaw drops as each element is introduced, cribbed straight out of Jordan. To set forth the evidence would require more space than is allowed here, and I think you all know what I mean anyway. I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but Jordan hasn't even finished his series yet! Still, it's a decent read. Given the paucity of good fantasy on the market, I would even have to say that Goodkind is one of the best currently available. Worth reading, after you're caught up on Martin and Jordan.

Summary: great story line
Review: Book five of the series is just another masterpiece. This book keeped me wanting to read and continue to read, I can't wait till the next book comes out and I find out what happens to Kahlan and Richard.

Summary: A book that enters a new area of an ancient world
Review: I honestly think that the book, although not as riveting as the previous ones, introduced to the reader a great amount of Terry Goodkind's world. People that have not immersed themselves in the world, only the action, will be disappointed. However, people addicted to Goodkind will find that the straight-forward plot becomes a bt more enigmatic, and conventional rules, of both his world and his writing, have been broken. The only book in the series to have a negative ending, the psychological tradegy leaves a very mistified sense of what must happen for the main characters to win the day, or even if winning the day entails what people expect.

Summary: I don't know what other peoples problems are...
Review: Terry goodkind is the best author I have ever read, and I think the only reason people are ragging on him so they can "be different". He is very skilled, and this is just another masterpeice from the sword of truth series. Keep up the good work!
Rating:
Summary: I hope it was a transition.
Review: Basically the only reason that this book got four stars is that part of it had something to do with what was before this a good series. This book isn't bad, but I have to agree that I DON"T CARE about Arindreth or however you spell it. The detail explaining life in that country is just a little overboard. But besides that, people who have brains and will sit and think anout the ending and other parts of the book and then perhaps re-read parts will get that this book did have a point.
Rating: 
Summary: Weak.
Review: This is the weakest link yet in the otherwise satisfying sword of truth series. Mr. Goodkind so far has made a good career of lifting plot elements straight out of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time (I'd like to see him refute that, anyone who has read both series will see it), but this book fails to deliver at any front. This review contains some spoilers so please do not read any further if you have not already read the book. First, the good things about this book, there is less of the nausea inducing sappiness between Richard and Kahlan, also, Mr. Goodkind's almost homoerotic obsession with Richard Rahl is less conspicuous, some interesting new characters, such as Dalton Campbell...actually, only Dalton Campbell, is introduced. Now the bad things, Mr. Goodkind did not do a good job of converging the two main storylines in this book. This results in a disjointed experience for the reader. Some promising characters, mainly Fitch and Beata, are removed from the equation of the book's conclusion completely, it seems that Fitch was simply a tool in setting up the next book in the series (the sword, hint hint). Lastly, Mr. Goodkind's explanations of the magic of the world is as hokey as ever. Mr. Goodkind never really bothered to explain what the Chimes were and I'm still clueless as to what in God's name Richard did to banish them. I'm still not sure what happened to Zedd, apparently that will be explained in the next book, not that I really care anymore. In short, this was promising book that fizzled at the end. And, Mr. Goodkind, if you are reading this, please take a moment to explain the disturbing parallels between your world and Mr. Jordan's wheel of time series (Caharin, caracarn, male confessors male aes sedai etc etc too numerous to list). No one wants to accuse you of the big P, but you owe your readers at least that much.
