the first time I read Chainfire, I was disapointed that it seemed to drag on and on. Richard tries endlessly to conviced others that Kalhan existed and everyone doubts him. I was disapointed that it wasn't resolved at the end. But, in preparation for the realease of Phantom, I read it again and I enjoyed it more as I could concentrate more on the rest of the action and not just the Kalhan situation.

Chainfire is awesome! The characters continue to grow as the entire series is brilliantly woven into this book. I’ve enjoyed getting to know Nicci’s character and I can’t wait until Phantom hits the selves.

Ok, I'll admit that Goodkind got a little bit "wordy" there for a couple of books, but he's back in fine form with Chainfire. The action is non-stop, the suspense is riveting, and the characters continue to develop in complexity and interest. If you are a fan of Goodkind in any way, shape, or form, then you'll enjoy this book.

Incredible! After reading the sample chapter in Naked Empire I could not wait to get my hands on this book. Thinking it impossible to be anymore impressed i was pleasantly suprised when i finished the book and was left breath-less and wanting more. Goodkind is definetly in his prime and i cant wait until Phantom is finally available in stores!
