Your feeling about the last two is my feeling for the middle book. But this one leapt back up for me.

ETA: When you say ending, do you mean the statebuilding thing, or the denouement, or... ?
The deliberate sidelining and avoidance of resolving any of what looked like the major conflicts of the series, like the civil war of Anaander Mianaai. I was not surprised that the Presger were the card up Breq's sleeve, but what she wanted to do with their leverage was not what I had been expecting.
