After reading book one I was afaird this would be just a "one hit series" however after reading the first four books in this series I found out how wrong I was! This book was a page turner I stayed up till 1 in the morning without putting it down. Mr. Goodkind leaves no unanwsered loose ends in his books. He writes everything with an individuality that seems so differant from lots of other modern fantasy. This book is a tale that at first glance seems simalar to the other three books (ie- Richard and Kahlan breaking up, solving a problem, and then getting back together) However, Temple of the Winds provides a new twist and some completely unexpexted ideas and actions of certain people. This book is a continuation of what will hopefully one day be a well remembered series.
