Publisher's summary

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.

Overall it was a good book

It was a good book setting thing up for the next books in the series. One or two parts were a little boring. But overall it was a good book.

Great, but Why!?

Why break the books up into such small fragments? was so short in comparison to the other books it felt rushed and half done. Great Story! but why now make them shorter?

Good but a little quick.

I really like Terry's books but the climax and finish of this one seemed rushed compared to his past novels. Without ruining the story the book ended similar to the ending of the first Hobbit movie, basically on a cliff hangar that seemed like it had been rushed to.

good book

an interesting book. it's almost funny that the people are ready to follow anybody but the man who saved them. the narrator did a great job bringing the characters to life.

Great narrator and another great novel

I was introduced to the Sword of Truth sorrows by my brother-in-law about 4 years ago. I have now listened to the entire series at least three times. Sam Tsoutsouvas is by far the best narrator of the series.

Great start to a new series.

I've listened to this twice now, and liked it even more the second time around.
