Reading progress update: I've read 83%. Spinning Out Of Control !

What is going on here ? I barely know, where it's heading and then it turns left and swirls around till... wait where am I ? I like the story when the author focuses on the story but who are all these other people and why are they here ? Wait how did we get here and what ? I am so double dang confused I feel like "Spittin Grits" I think maybe 30% of this books focuses on the actual storyline. Skimming all these useless filler parts.
