The Omen Machine by Terry Goodkind
4.0
This book was pretty disappointing to me. While the story itself was rather enjoyable, it just didn't feel like a Richard and Kahlan novel. None of the characters really behaved in the way that I would have expected of them, especially after spending countless hours reading the 12 previous books and getting to know them. That being said, the story itself was quite interesting. It kept me reading, wanting to know what would happen next. But it could have just as easily been written with a whole new set of characters.
I also feel like Goodkind has become a little bit sloppy in his writing. The story felt a little bit rushed and there wasn't nearly as much explanation given about the situations at hand. Not to mention, whoever did the proof-reading for this book really needed to take a few extra minutes here and there. There were more errors than I think I have ever encountered in any published novel.
All in all, not a bad book. I think that had Goodkind's team spent a little more time on this one it could have been much closer to what his fans would expect.
