What do you mean no real ending? With what gets born in the funeral pyre (don't want to spoil it for anyone else) and the death of one of the main protagonists, the more of the second book that I read the more I convince myself that the first book is only there to set the scene for the rest of the story (don't forget that it is seven books long and counting).
As far as the different narratives goes, it does take some getting used to but as you get to know the characters you begin to realise what their goals are and actually empathise with them more, certain situations that some of the characters find themselves in in the second book help this greatly; so it has grown on me.
