If you’re wondering if the payoff is worth it, I’d say Yes. I read a bad review on the ending and honestly was dreading it a little. I like how it wrapped up. I liked how things changed and things stayed the same. Mostly I liked how completing one thing did not solve all of the problems. Overall experience was favorable, however you do need to live large scale battles and almost elements of epic fiction as there are parts of the series that are great for the story but are hard to stay focused on. I liked it and would recommend this series with the caveat of harsh language.
