Oh good I think this is an excellent series and recommend it all over the place. Some people are daunted at the size of the books and they are a bit harder work but I think worth it.

Re the names, I spent some time in the glossary and once I understood the difference in the names and the reasons why it started to make sense. It is hard in the initial sections to get past that but I recommend using the glossary, thats what its for.
