Ok, I give up this series is terrible. I don't know why i was punishing myself getting this far into the series, I guess it was because I was too lazy to try to find another fantasy series to read (which I have been in the mood for)I only got about 40 pages into this one, and found myself skipping over half the words. His writing style seemed to have degraded to the level of a fifth grade essay; first this happened, then that happened because this other thing happened...Jesus, it was like having my brain removed through my nasal cavity, this man should be shot.For fun I think I'm going to look for people who like this series and ridicule them in my journal, aren't I evil.

Temple of the Winds was a little harder for me to get through as I decided to check out the audiobook. There was so much talk in this one I wasn't as excited to pick back up where I paused at.Yes, the story-line was interesting, but getting from point A to point B was not altogether painless.Nadine, a troubled little twit from Richard's home, arrives to stir up a cauldron of trouble. Richard's reactions to Nadine's condemnation of Kahlan scared me a little. He was ready to kill folk over his beloved. No long the patient woods guide.The 'Sith are fantastic and I love them to pieces. Their banter is always a treat. Richard gramps sounded like an old man with a few screw loose even when he wasn't acting out for the traders and cannibals.Rahl family members seemed to be coming out of the woodwork.I also had a few qualms about how easily the people of this land changed their allegiance and swore oaths. Shame on them.I don't know if I would have forgiven Kahlan. She had a little too much fun doing what she did. Nope, I'm not telling. It was a doosey!On to the next~

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!I can't remember ever reading a book as dark/twisted/perverse as this. So THOROUGHLY MESSED UP. And I love it.I cannot believe the shit Goodkind puts his characters through.Not even TV!Kahlan/Richard will be the same to me after this.
