About this listen

Book Four of The Sword of Truth, the series first begun in Wizard's First Rule, returns listeners to the world of Richard Cypher, a simple woods guide who never dreamed he would be named the Seeker of Truth and become caught up in magic, war, and dangers so extraordinary that the fate of his entire world would hang on his actions and decisions.

The dangerous, fanatical Imperial Order, under the leadership of the power-mad Emperor Jagang and his multitude of demonic underlings, unleashes a deadly plague. To find a cure, Richard Cypher and his beloved Kahlan Amnell must seek out the legendary Temple of the Winds, a fortress of evil sealed away for 3,000 years. But the path of the Seeker of Truth is never an easy one - even if he can reach the Temple at all, there is no guarantee he'll ever return.

The best yet

I really loved this one, the best of the series so far. The different threads were balanced really well, and there was none of the drifting plot that happens in books 2 and 3. I love all the books, but this is the best so far. Downloading book 5 already.

no research

I thoroughly enjoyed this reading . barring 1 simple thing. the reader did no research as to the names pronunciations in previous readings. changing the pronunciation of Kahlin was very frustrating at the beginning

but overall the reader was very good

recommended to all

Great book

I really love these books, and the narration is good. Sadly he pronounces the name Kahlan wrong... He should have listened to the others first.

Mispronunciation of key character’s names!

So very disappointed! I am having such a problem with the narrator’s “re-pronunciation” of character’s names in the series. I know this is a great book as I have read the series and wanted to give the series a listen. I don’t know if I can finish this listen with Kahlan being pronounced a Collin! This book needs to be re-recorded with the correct pronunciation so that the continuity in the series flows properly. I will likely have to skip this book in the series and request a return for this title.
Absolutely annoying to have such a good story and series interrupted by a narrator not being aware of key characters names and how the author obviously intended the pronunciation to be. Such a shame!!!

Names

This is a great book but this narrator pronounces some of the names differently which is quite jarring after 3 books of one pronunciation
Overall it was great though

Didn't like the change in the Narrater

I struggled at first because of the change in Narrater and the way he firstly portrayed the characters with his voice and then how he pronounced the names of the characters all being different from the previous Narrater.

excellent series

so far this is the best narrated of all the sword of truth books I've listened to. although he does make kahlan sound a bit wet. still, it's not the monotone drivel of the last book! the story is brilliant. this book is one of my favourites of the series.

Longwinded and repetitive scenes.

It is quite annoying when they pronounce the names of characters differently from previous books (Kahlan)

The characters are quite stupid, mostly Richard, and they keep repeating themselves in conversations that are too drawn out.

Other than that it's pretty good.

Cringed every time the reader said 'Karlin'!

Book and story brilliant, performance ok apart feom the dodgy accents which helped to be extremely distracting when coupled with him calling Kaylin 'Karlin' all the way through the book. Cannot fathom why the producers have constantly changed the narrators. The fluid nature of the various charrachters personalities as a result of their continually evolving accents and traits, detracts and distracts from the overall series and tone which is brilliant.
