 I'm at 70% of the book one. I had a hard time getting in, especially at the beginning - it didn't feel like sci-fi. And the names are hard to remember when you're not used to it.

 First is slow going indeed, for the first half, especially if you're  not familiar with Chinese culture. Second book is the true masterpiece imo.

 Yes, had exactly the same experience but it gets better. You can look forward to books 2 and 3 though, it gets so much more exciting!
