A review by michaelesch
The Omen Machine by Terry Goodkind
3.0
Terry Goodkind is one of my favorite authors and Richard and Kahlan are by far my favorite characters of any story I have ever read. So my review automatically gets 2 stars (I dont know if that is fair, but its my review and therefore my rules).
If a story is suppose to have an exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, denouement then this story fails. It has great characters and exciting moments but then it goes dead. For the first 200 pages I was waiting for rising action. I thought I had found it with the introduction to who I thought was the villain. I was excited and thought this was the point of the Goodkind book where I cant put it down, staying up till 3 in the morning to finish. But it was not that and the story slowed down.
I felt like the story created more questions then it answered. Maybe the sequel that is coming out at the end of summer will help this one out. I hope that the Third Kingdom has more passion like the first confessor, and less like the omen machine.
