I loved the plot, the characters, the atmosphere was amazing but women either only have a role of a burden (Artair's mother after her heart attack), a seductress (Marsaili, all of Fin's girlfriends, Donna) or a one dimensional mother figure (Fin's mother who was barely mentioned or his aunt who was just described as "eccentric and cold").
The men on the other hand were really well written which makes me think this isn't just how the author writes characters, it's just how he writes women. (I'm hoping the rest of the trilogy isn't as male-based).
Other than this, I loved everything except the ending which felt flat and easy compared to the rest of the plot.
