5.0
I just finished “A Strange and Stubborn Endurance” by Foz Meadows. It features an arranged political marriage of husbands, one from a homophobic society and one from a progressive one. There is light magic and deep court intrigue. Both characters, while awkward in their own ways, are competent and interesting. The developing relationship is sweetly written and does NOT feature the kind of ham fisted misunderstandings that make me roll my eyes. I was very sad that the second in the series won’t be out for nearly a YEAR.
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Sexual assault, and Murder
There is a sexual assault at the beginning of the #book that gives one of the characters PTSD and suicidal ideation. There are several murders, including of an animal. There is old abuse discussed. For all that, it still has a cozy vibe because of the core relationship.
