I think the start was kinda slow. But once this got going it became more than just a run of the mill monster romance. Jax saves Macy from the sea after she was going to reject her childhood love. She is then trapped and looked after by him and they converse and learn a bit about each other's worlds.

After a certain point where she is taken to the krakens home is where it picked up for me and i enjoyed the "first encounters" of the Krakens having to put aside prejudices which only happens when Macy selflessly goes to save the youngling.

I loved the relationship development and the tensions and the good communications when someone was upset about something. It felt real and sweet. It was a well wrapped up story that is still open for more. Some of the side characters sound interesting enough to continue the series for.
