I don't know how to rate this book. 1 star for Pali, 5 stars for everything else?

Let me elaborate. Until now I have been under impression that I can handle an unlikable character if the story or the themes are interesting. Or that I can handle an unlikable person if the character is interesting (hello Dalinar). Well, I have found my limit here. Pali is an extremely obnoxious person. Her ego is as vast as the former empire, every scene that happens she twists so that it's about her (even when in fact it's NOT), she treats everything as a fight (if you have to remind yourself that your friend is not your enemy, you have a problem), and every fight she has to win (even if it's waiting for a bird to pick a bread crumb; it just had to be a crumb *she* offered). Girl...

I did not enjoy the story from her POV, but I must admit she is written well. And I also admit that the last scene with Pali and Fitzroy was excellent.

Everything else was amazing. And heart-wrenching (Terec, Basil, every mention of Kip, especially one of the last ones, my heart!).
