After restarting the book and due to distractions I am only around 50% of the way through the book. It seems for me to be getting into some sort of less fragmented story-line now and quite enjoyable.
I am finding that names are becoming less of a problem as this far into the book I can usually just know who the character is from their activity in the story-line rather than from figuring out their multiple and, to me, foreign names
