Temple of the Winds has a significant difference from the Blood of the Fold in that the story is not as loosely present. These characters and their abilities will prove to be important throughout the book. Both he and Nadine happen to be healers and show up within close proximity at the beginning of the book while Kahlan is trying to deal with a prisoner with one of the Mord Sith Cara. The other character that was introduced was Drefan Raul. She shows up very mysteriously and everything she tells the characters flops back and forth like a fish out of water. A girl from Richards past that felt thrown into the book just to balance out the introduction of another character. The beginning of the book was relatively confusing with the introduction of Nadine. The book continues the story of the struggle with the new found enemy of the Imperial Order and Richard, now known as Lord Rahl and Kahlan, who is now reunited with Richard to bring the Midlands into the order of D’Hara. Terry Goodkind’s Temple of the Winds is clocking in at 528 pages shared amongst 70 chapters. How does the 4th installment treat the Sword of Truth series? Let’s dive into it and find out.
