I was constantly skipping to the glossary at the back until I got the hang of it. I think the thing that made it worse was the fact, the names themselves were so farfetched from any names we're use to and the tribes/people and learning about the history of the planets, I found it increasingly confusing. Of course with a new book there is a lot of story telling and back story to proceed with, but it felt obtuse at times. The one thing I struggled with at the beginning was the information dump and names. This was the first time I ventured into anything SCI-FI related and I felt like it was a good stepping stone into the genre, heavily hyped on space exploration and travel but at it's core centres an enemies to friends story in the midst of the fight of two nations over a single planet.
