It’s just okay. It has a frame story (like the princess bride). All the main characters grow and develop, overcoming painful trauma, heartbreak, betrayal, and find their emotional closure. It ties up nicely at the end with a happily ever after.
The “betrayals” were predictable though which disappointed me. Initially, it seems like there’s more espionage and crime that will occur. But after about 30-40% of the way through it became clear to me that this story is all about love.
