It was boring... spice wasn't that great even though it was tentacles. I forgot it wasn't a slow-burn kind of book though so that's my bad.

This was a little deeper than Dragon's Bride and Demon's Bargain, at least to me. Given the short nature of these, while Dragon's Bride thus far has the heaviest subject matter, it also can't be the deepest because of length constraints.
Kraken on the other hand, handles Cat's emotional trauma's in a fairly 'staring down the barrel' manner without necessarily fully resolving them. Which arguably, Dragon's Bride didn't do either, but somehow this feels like a bigger pay-off. A more realistic pay off, perhaps.
Still I greatly enjoyed this, the rawness in Thane and Cat drew me in, and kept me in until the very last page. I'd stick the spice at a 3.5/5 chilis.
