From the beginning, with Wizard's First Rule, Terry Goodkind set a new standard for epic storytelling. Now he returns with a powerful new tale from Richard and Kahlan's world.
An accident leads to the discovery of a mysterious machine that has rested hidden deep underground for countless millennia. The machine awakens to begin issuing a series of increasingly alarming, if minor, omens. The omens turn out to be astonishingly accurate, and ever more ominous. As Zedd tries to figure out how to destroy the sinister device, the machine issues a cataclysmic omen involving Richard and Kahlan, foretelling an impending event beyond anyone's ability to stop. As catastrophe approaches, the machine then reveals that it is within its power to withdraw the omen . . . In exchange for an impossible demand.

I have devoured this series and I really it. However, this last book is utter crap. I'm giving two stars because I think the narration is what truly saves this book. Only one day has passed and everyone has lost their damn minds? I can understand people wanting to do their own thing after time has gone by. However, it's only been one day!!! You're really going to turn on the man who saved you just one day earlier? I have other issues with this book that aren't worth writing, so I'll just leave you with the above.
Not quite as painful as Pillars of Creation and almost as good as Soul of the Fire, and that's saying something. TG has a maddening habit of repeating everything over and over and over until you just want to reach in and smack someone. Richard is, at times, a stubborn idiot. I'm so glad I'm done with this one. I may not bother picking up the next one.
Decent story, seemed much shorter than most of his books, definitely seems to be a setup for more to come.
