The first LINE of TFA says " No. Sorry. Not done yet."
How the hell do you go from that to "hey it's done!"?
I mean come on. Even for Slashdot this is retarded.

... you don't think it's clear that, at that point in writing the series, Goodkind read him some Ayn Rand and thought it was the most genius shit ever?
I mean, Jagang is instantly transformed from being a badass conquerer who wants to break your spirit and take everything from you just because he's such a badass and can to... a guy who wants to bring communism to the world. That completely pisses on the characterization of the major antagonist of the series. Faith of the Fallen isn't just a bad, unoriginal book, it's in that "Highlander 2" special echelon of being a sequel so bad, it actually ruins the good entries in the series before it.
