Query: One of the better ones in the series

I was leary when I read the beginning. In lieu of the recent tragedy and the terrible weather, I found it hard to suspend disbelief about that whole opening party by the mine. However, I'm glad I kept reading, because I loved the plot twists and turns. I like thinking about where those seemingly beneign details are going to turn out being important. I like the general. I was always annoyed by Julian so I prefer the new kid. I started with book one and am glad to have read in succession. I'll keep going, because she is an exceptional writer. Unfortunately, I do snack more when I read about all that food!
