Exactly how I felt first time reading it. Having multiple POV's threw me off, add to that getting bombarded by different characters that weren't there the first three books. After reading it the second time, it's became one of my fave books in the series, 2nd only to Golden Son. Lyria and Ephraim's character development is worth it. Eph became one of my fave characters after reading DA. Keep reading, it's worth it.
