A review by capincus
The Omen Machine by Terry Goodkind

2.0

The plot was decent but it seems like Goodkind forgot how to write sometime between Chainfire and The Omen Machine. There was about 150-200 pages of story in the book and another 300 pages of repetition. He repeated sentences, words, concepts. There was one point where he described a wall made out of vines and thorns in a paragraph for three pages worth of paragraphs. Unfortunately, it looks like you have to read this to continue on with the series, but maybe this is the time to give up on Goodkind.
