The Omen Machine by Terry Goodkind
5.0
When Goodkind wrapped up the Sword of Truth series with Confessor, I had a feeling we'd be seeing Richard and Kahlan and everyone else again. And I'm so glad we did. I fell in love with those characters time and time again and will follow them on all of the adventures their lives take.
We find ourselves picking up just where the series left off. Cara has just gotten married. The People's Palace is still in celebration mode. Dignitaries from the provinces are hanging around, taking it all in. The war is finally over.
But new problems are beginning to surface. Someone or something is checking in on the Lord Rahl and his wife while they sleep. Prophesy, or what seems to be prophesy, is running a muck and coming from some very unlikely sources, and it's scary enough that people are killing their own families because of it. At the heart of it all is a machine. Discovered in the most unlikely of places it likely dates back to the construction of the palace itself. It talks to Richard and tells him things he doesn't want to hear. Things are supposed to be better now, but they're not.
We get to meet a new evil, or two, or three, in this latest addition to the series. Something foul is afoot and it's not interested in the new found peace that's our heros have fought so hard and so long for. The road is lined with peril.
