Well, I feel that piling on too many right away is generally not a good idea, and it'll often irritate me when a novel does it. However, I experienced no such irritation when I read Melusine, so I don't think it went overboard on the proper noun throwing. I don't expect the setting to be explained straight away, just that you don't bombard me with so many unfamiliar names that it starts becoming gibberish.
