Considering how far into the series this book is, my hopes weren't all that high. On the one hand, these are familiar characters, and I love them. On the other, the story line is fairly routine. The end has clearly been left open for another book, which, really, doesn't seem necessary. As much as I love the characters, the author is so far from the greatness that was "Wizard's First Rule" that it seems a shame to keep going. Will I read more of the books? Yeah, probably, because I'll be curious what else Terry Goodkind can come up with. Overall, if you already like the series, you'll probably enjoy this book. It's a fast read, and though the first half of the book is plagued with errors and typos, the editors seemed to have done a much better job on the second half.

It was great to see all the familiar character back in action, but The Omen Machine doesn’t feel quite up to the standards of Terry Goodkind’s other Sword of Truth novels, especially not the early works. The plot hinges on far too many coincidences and fantastical leaps in logic which are never quite explained to satisfaction. Though flawed The Omen Machine is still an enjoyable read for the most part, but I expected so much more from it based on what proved to be a misleading synopsis. Read the full review

I liked it - in a tropetastic nonsense kind of way. But it is really not very good at all.

Meh. Not terrible, not great. Lots of repetition and too on the nose.
