But it's worth it, if you stick the whole thing out. Huge, rich canvas of characters. Ever-shifting landscape of layered antagonists with complex motivations.
I'm about halfway through Toll the Hounds. I think you are absolutely right about the difficulty. And initially the constantly changing landscape of characters was off-putting, but I've grown used to it.
