Publisher Description

With Wizard's First Rule and seven subsequent masterpieces, Terry Goodkind has thrilled readers worldwide with the unique sweep of his storytelling. Now, in Chainfire, Goodkind returns with a novel of Richard and Kahlan, the beginning of a sequence of three novels that will bring their epic story to its culmination.

After being gravely injured in battle, Richard awakes to discover Kahlan missing. To his disbelief, no one remembers the woman he is frantically trying to find. Worse, no one believes that she really exists, or that he was ever married. Alone as never before, he must find the woman he loves more than life itself....if she is even still alive. If she was ever even real.

"Amazing book! Incredible detail, makes you want to enter their world! I literally carried it around with me so any free minute was spent reading it! This book has been especially hard to read because I love the love between Richard and Kahlan and what they go through in this book is so sad."

    " Really really liked this and it was refreshing to have Richard and Kahlan separated in this manner. Very intense plot and great action sequences and quite a page turner near the end. "

    " This series should have ended with this book but instead it has picked up as a start to a trilogy. There were a couple hundred pages of wasted text in this book. In the end the book had some interesting ideas in it and some of the characters are still very interesting. However, why is it the characters have forgotten about this that have happened in the series that I have not? "

    " So this book was better than the last. There was some repeating as is Goodkind's MO. Again, there is no rule that you have to read every single word on a page. I always skim the redundent stuff, sometimes I skip the detailed scenery, especially if we have already had a description of where ever he is describing.. I'm not going to go into the story because it is an older book and there are plenty of reviews out there that do. I basically just wanted to rate it. I think I have two more books left in this series... just need to power through it. "
