Honestly I dont for the most part. It takes many meetings for me and I have to specifically make a point to say their name out loud to them. Ive also found doing a doddle of the person helps me remember the face (but i have some level of face blindness so this may not be necessary)
Honestly having a rough time with the last MaddAddam book. Im too invested in what’s currently happening to really want to go over Zebs past. Other than that tho ive really enjoyed the series
