You think there can’t be any more plagiarism and then they enter “the ways”

Oh boy is this hot garbage so far. Goodkind mashes Wheel of Time and Shannara together and acts like no one will notice.
The only positive is the Wizard is obviously the Wizard… just in hiding. The main character easily puts everything together. I’m sure Goodkind meant for this to make him seem smart, which it would if him being the wizard weren’t glaringly obvious.
