About this ebook

From the internationally bestselling author of the Sword of Truth series, comes a new Richard and Kahlan novel, sequel to The Omen Machine.

The bloodthirsty Jit is dead, and against all odds Richard and Kahlan have survived. But a new menace has attacked them in the Dark Lands. Infected with the essence of death itself, robbed of his power as a war wizard, Richard must race against time to uncover and stop the infernal conspiracy assembling itself behind the wall far to the north. His friends and allies are already captives of this fell combination, and Kahlan, also touched by death's power, will die completely if
Richard fails.

Bereft of magic, Richard has only his sword, his wits, his capacity for insight – and an extraordinary companion, the young Samantha, a healer just coming into her powers.

Compelling, fast-moving, and intense, The Third Kingdom is a powerful tale that welcomes new readers to Terry Goodkind's world, while opening up new vistas of worldbuilding for longtime readers of the adventures of Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell.

Unfortunately these books seem to have become so targeted at an audience that have memories like a gild fish. Terry writes as if explaining everything to a small child. Not only is every page almost a repetition of the last page and every chapter there after a recap of the last chapter, but the whole book is a description of only 3 actual things that happen. The only thing reading is the last 2 chapters and that also poorly written that you wonder why 500 pages were written prior to these last 2 chapters.

Good story but I didn't feel like the overall quality of writing has been up to the author's usual standard. Found it quite repetitive in places.

Like the omen machine before this, it is a fast passed almost thriller. Whilst a great follow on for the Richard and Kahlan saga, it is I feep to short. Before you really get into the book it ends. I'd like to see a return to some of goodkinds longer novels.

About the author

Goodkind was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, where he also attended art school, one of his many interests on the way to becoming a writer. Besides a career in wildlife art, he has been a cabinet maker, violin maker, and he has done restoration work on rare and exotic artifacts from around the world – each with its own story to tell, he says. In 1983 Goodkind moved to the forested mountains he loves. There, in the woods near the ocean, he built the house where he and his wife Jeri live, and came at last to tell his own stories.
