I had to restart this book twice before I felt I wasn't swimming in names and places. It switches between four POVs. Using direction to tell us which one it is does not help. Sure the voices are different and I know when it's Wulf, but between Glorian and Dumai there was little difference. 

I didn't have this problem with The Priory of the Orange Tree, which I listened to on audio as well. I didn't enjoy the world as much this time around.
