This was moderately enjoyable through the story, though I still would have considered giving up on it a few times if I hadn't been reading it for book club. It was slow, and only about half the characters were likeable, though admittedly even the unlikable ones had a few great moments.
The ending ruined whatever enjoyment I got out of the rest of the book, and made me go "what was the point of all that". I didn't feel most of the characters had any kind of resolution or interesting arc, and the end was depressing.
