It's pretty clear the romance was the author's primary focus here. Jordan and Edra have great chemistry and a really unique relationship/dynamic for the genre. The rest of the book is a bit middling, though it certainly isn't bad. The world-building is a believable look at how people would react to the appearance of mythological beings, but the actual exposition gets pretty clunky. The "mystery" is also a bit light and is often progressed off-page so we only hear about it later. I do really like Jordan and Edra, though, as well as several of the side-characters.
