Last Argument of Kings

When they say Abercrombie wrote these books without a strong plot, they really mean it.
I love all of the characters in this series despite how frustrating it was to read from their POVs. I just really need a stronger plot for it to be a full 5 star. I felt like the book went on a bit too long after the biggest climax. Yes, there were still reveals but I could not say that all of them were satisfying. There are some loose threads left for other books in the series I presume.  Also, the whole magic system is so minuscule and underexplained, and as a reader that loves having it all laid out, it left me frustrated in some moments. 
All in all, I was engaged the whole time enjoying the ride but it just didn't quite hit all of the marks for my taste.
