I liked the first 2/3 and then started to get bored because all of the essential questions were answered. I’ve never read a story this huge and complicated before, though, so maybe I just don’t like that kind of book. Also thought the romance wasn’t believable, 
and Ead got less interesting after she got into a relationship.
The writing was beautiful, though.
