Despite the setting, the vibe is very "British mystery" in it's portrayal. The two main characters compliment each other's strengths really well, and their chemistry is good. I wouldn't say it's sizzling, but it's actually rather healthy and realistic in the way they explore their dynamic together. Varazda's gender expression is explored here and there, and it's quite refreshing! Damiskos is so fun in his very serious consideration of others. Neither characters are over done, neither laying it on too thick. You get a good feel for their personalities, and their flow, so by the end I was excited to keep exploring their relationship together in the next book!
