I recently read Dr. Zhizago. After about 100 pages or so I realized I couldn't just read it like an ordinary novel. The new ebook translation has many footnotes describing particular aspects of Russian culture and literature that also help to make the book make sense. As opposed to just chucking it and going on to something else, I decided to start over and reread the first 100 pages more carefully. When I did that I really enjoyed the book.
That said what you are reading is not Dr. Zhivago. I probably wouldn't feel compelled to start Erikson's series over. I'd probably move on.
