In his newest heart-pounding suspense novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Terry Goodkind introduces the world to his most unforgettable and deadly character yet.Angela Constantine is a girl born broken. When Angela was young, before she came to realize she had a rare ability, she was a rather ordinary girl. At least, that was what everyone said. But Angela is anything but ordinary. The daughter of a meth addict, she is convinced she was born a freak. Haunted by an abusive childhood, she was forced to become a woman far too soon. And in the process, she became more. Angela Constantine has a secret life. Angela juggles multiple jobs to live a secluded life in a cabin in the mountains. But she also lives a secret life, right under everyone's noses. Because her family's bloodline carries the ability to recognize killers, she adopts a solitary, violent existence in service of her own, personal mission in life. When Angela unexpectedly finds herself the prey of a group of international terrorists, she is the only one who knows the truth of what they are about to do. She might look like an unlikely hero. She might also be our only hope. Angela Constantine is . . .The Girl in the Moon.
I used to like Terry Goodkind's books for the story line but after reading books by Brandon Sanderson, Terry's writing is laughably terrible. He repeats scenes and motives constantly, as if he assumes the reader has immediately forgotten everything that happened a few pages ago. It really seems like he's just trying to stretch the story out to twice the amount of pages it should be. Everything that the characters are thinking is spelled out. He doesn't leave anything obvious to be assumed. The plot is very predictable. It's very condescending, like he thinks his readers are idiots. It's just very dumb writing and I couldn't even force myself to finish the book. I will not be wasting my money on his books ever again.
