Did it deliver on all its promises and provide a satisfying conclusion? In my opinion, yes.
It’s slow and rambly at times, and the unnecessary sex scenes are eye-roll-inducing, but I recognize that it takes a lot of skill to make readers root for such a variety of characters, from the most crass and cantankerous to the prissy, holier-than-though types. The entire last 20% is an edge-of-your-seat, heart-in-your-throat roller coaster.
