Cibola Burn

I might be going against the grain here, but this one was my favorite of the series so far. This is surprising to me because I thought the side characters were much more engaging in the previous novels, but the story kept me flipping along at a steady pace. I still wish we knew more about what was happening on a larger scale. It's like a broken record for me. If I just knew a bit more, maybe I could enjoy it that much more. Does the series get better from here on out?
