In questions beginning Who ... ? / What ... ? / Where ... ? / Which ... ?, prepositions (to/from/with. etc.) usually go at the end:
O Where are you from? I'm from Thailand.
O Jack was afraid. What was he afraid of?
O Who do these books belong to? They're mine.
O Tom's father is in hospital. Which hospital is he in?
O Kate is going on holiday. Who with? / Who is she going with?
O Can we talk? Sure. What do you want to talk about?
What's it like? / What are they like? etc:
What's it like? = What is it like?
What's it like? = tell me something?
about it - is it good or bad, big or small, old or new(etc.)?
When we say What is it like?', like is a preposition. It is not the verb like (Do you like you new house? etc.):
O A: There's a new restaurant in our street.
B: What's it like? Is it good?
A: I don't know. I haven't eaten there yet.
O A: What's your new teacher like?
