I wouldn't dismiss War and Peace. It's really good. It's not all that difficult. I'm particularly fond of the lasted translation in 2008, which is not a freebie. The author goes to great detail to footnote various events and people to relate them to the historical accuracy and times in Russia. It's a fascinating read.
There are many characters, but only really about 20-30 fictional characters that are main. The rest are tangential, and the majority are actual historical people.
