A Strange and Stubborn Endurance

This book was a great example of romance mixed with plot. There was plenty of really interesting characters and character dynamics, and plenty of interest to be had in the difference between cultures that the main characters shared. It reminded me in many ways of C.S. Pacat's Captive Prince series, though that one is a much slower burn and with much more intrigue and darkness. I enjoyed the book thoroughly, and enjoyed especially the ways people of different genders, sexualities, disabilities, and magical abilities were represented. I would recommend this book, though I would say it lacked in exxecution of the intrigue plotline, which was interesting, but was perhaps not as compelling as it might have been.
