The latest in the Sword of Truth series, this picks up immediately after the last book, Confessor(?). Richard, now the Lord Rahl, finds a machine hidden deep within the People's Palace, which spews out prophecies. Those prophecies are unwittingly repeated by people with a touch of the gift (magic), which makes them really, really bad. Richard must find a way to save the people he loves - particularly Kahlan, his wife.
The book was a lot of fun, even if Terry Goodkind isn't the most poetic of writers. He still paints a bold and vivid picture of Richard's world. The big problem came from the end of the book. It just sort of...ends. One of the two major baddies isn't dealt with AT ALL. And Richard and Kahlan are left in a precarious, if somewhat hopeful, situation.
I can only assume that the author will be giving us another book. I only hope that he gives it to us soon.
