I loved the book until I got to the end. When you get to that point she is sort of spent. Family members and friends have been killed or written out and she sort of ends up with one of her love interests but there is no wrap up other than "they get married, have children, and live happily ever after". There really is no indication about what sort of system they have going forward after the 2 competing rulers have been killed, except that they are back farming the land. Almost seems like a libertarian ending to me.
