The last bit of execution was sloppy but overall the Arya arc has been internally consistent and showed a realization and change it what motivates her.

I also don't think we've seen the last of the faceless men. There motivations seems strange if they are simplistic as just being paid assassins who are slaves to the will of the many face god.
Why did they seek Arya out in the first place if that was their game? Given Jaqen's skill it seems very strange that he was captured in King's Landing the way he was. Clearly they're up to something and are choosing to be involved in Arya's storyline and the bigger Game of Thrones storyline as a whole.
