Good to know!
I've always been leery about starting this--in part--because most people (even huge fans of the series) say that it wasn't all that good. And I'm one of those who's not really willing to trudge through an entire bad book just because it might be necessary for what comes in the later "good" books. In short: I don't give whole bad books "free passes" simply because they're part of something "better."
I don't mind being dumped in an author's world and having to fend for myself (even for long periods of time). I'm actually not a fan of brick-by-brick world-building. So you mentioning that the confusion is only for a few chapters gives me lots of hope. The fans I've talked to before made it sound as if they were lost for almost the whole book! A few chapters is nothing!
