" Maybe because I started with this book and not the first in the series, I wasn't totally enthralled. I liked the story, I liked that the book contained recipes. I wasn't sure I totally understood the characters. Something in the narrative style leaves me questioning why certain characters behave in certain ways. I'm not left with a sense of mystery about them, but rather with a sense of discord, as if what the characters do and say does not jive with how they're being described. Despite this, I'll definitely read more of the series, if only to keep up with some of the very yummy-sounding recipes. :) "
