5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic, 14 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This book is fast paced and is very hard to put down. The 'betrayal' of the one in white is absolutely terrific and the climax of the story is gripping. TG has kept up the same quality of storytelling as he has done in the Wizard's First Rule. Definately worth buying.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is so awful it should come with a health warning, 11 May 2009
By P. Rennison "Monday" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The dialogue in this book would embarrass a 7 year old, it is so so wooden, nothing is ever implied and each conversation is ground out like a meeting of two strangers talking about something new to both of them - beyond painful

Appalling writing, Goodkind is a terrible myisogynist where every female character however powerful, strong and regardless of back story only really wants to be seen as attractive and popular by men, to be loved by a good man, to be understood, to held in big strong arms (God it is worse than a Mills and Boon reject!)

The right wing slant of the writing, where the rights of the individual and weak are stamped on the for common good is childish and written as if this was a mind blowing leap in human thought.

The way all the main characters go from being rationale to being utterly clueless just so terrible plot lines can be justified and stretched out was so clumsy and insulting that it made my teeth itch!!!

This series started averagely and at this point I can take it no more. For Gods sake, everyone swapping their personality traits to fit the authors lack of imagination and planning or to fit bad writing is so poor it deserves to be binned.

I can't quite remember a book where the dialogue, plot and romantic writing are so utterly awful as to make me angry!!

How does this man get published? He is dreadful, dreadful, dreadful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Breathing Life into the Old Horse, 23 Nov 2000
By A Customer
The first two books in this series were excellent. I then came to read the third, Blood of the Fold, and was severerly disappointed. It read well, but nothing really happened; about the only notable events are the discovery of the sliph and the destruction of the Palace of Prophets.

The Temple of the Winds, however, breathes life back into the dead horse than Goodkind seemed to be flogging. It's not so much a voyage or a battle, as a puzzle that must be solved. Many events in the plot contribute to the heightening mystery, keeping you geussing "Who, How, Where..." up until the finale. Several hints are given along the way as to how the book is going to end, but it's only after you've finished reading that you think "Oh yeah, now I get it...".

The reasons this book loses its star are two fold. Firstly, we seem to spend a significant proportion of the book re-introducing characters and themes that have been running throughout the series. This is particularly evident in the initial interrogation of Marlin. However this isn't as big a drawback as it is in Blood of the Fold, and things soon settle down to their familiar rythm. Secondly, the situation at the end would be impossible to escape; if the villan had any wits about him at all which, from the rest of the book he has. You have to re-read this section several times to understand just how things are done, and even then it's a little far-fetched. But then that's how the rest of the books in this series have been... so nothing new there.

All in all, a worthy addition to the Sword of Truth series (as well as looking as cool as anything - black and gold rocks :).

I'd be interested to see how Mr Goodkind keeps Darken Rahl involved in future books - his appearance in this one is tenuous, although it does make sense.

But this book and read it. But only after you've read the other three.
