Finally found a reasonably-priced second-hand copy. Excellent as I remember so far.

Starting up again and, frankly, struggling. Not sure if it's the fault of the translation, but finding it hard to keep trackbof who's who and what the relationships are - the character sheets at the start of each chapter don't help when people are constantly referred to by their various titles, "he" /"she", names and nicknames interchangably. The footnotes also aren't much help for cultural illiterates.

Taking this veeeery slow... Fascinating, but dense text, small print, massive book, and I keep needing to go off and look things up to understand it all.
