I'm halfway through and I'm getting annoyed that the characters rarely refer to the others by their names. Instead they are the shoe poet (which is at least a nickname), the wandering boy, the nurse, the polish girl, the giantess. At least the knight/ the German didn't reveal his name to anyone in the group for some time so there's a reason to constantly call him by a label. But everyone knows everyone else's name for Pete's sake. 😖
