I’m 100 pages in and it is slow going. Does it pick up soon?

Maybe not soon, but it does pick up 
It’s definitely worth enduring.

It's not so much that it picks up as much as draws you in.
There is tension and menace that builds among the characters, but the compelling thing is that presence of evil starts to loom larger than the storyline. Vaguely, but like somewhere in the room over your shoulder instead of on the pages in front of you.
At that point the philosophical exchanges between characters provide a lifeline out to you, but darkly, almost thru a prism. And somehow in the midst of reading it, you come to feel the opaqueness is caused by your current surroundings, not the fact that you are reading a 19th C. Russian book.
Weirdly mesmerizing and rewarding.
