“Stolen me? As soon to say a caged bird can be stolen by the sky.”
Velasin vin Aaro never planned to marry at all, let alone a girl from neighboring Tithena. When an ugly confrontation reveals his preference for men, Vel fears he’s ruined the diplomatic union before it can even begin. But while his family is ready to disown him, the Tithenai envoy has a different solution: for Vel to marry his former intended’s brother instead.
Caethari Aeduria always knew he might end up in a political marriage, but his sudden betrothal to a man from Ralia, where such relationships are forbidden, comes as a shock.
With an unknown faction willing to kill to end their new alliance, Vel and Cae have no choice but to trust each other. Survival is one thing, but love―as both will learn―is quite another.
Byzantine politics, lush sexual energy, and a queer love story that is by turns sweet and sultry, Foz Meadows' A Strange and Stubborn Endurance is an exploration of gender, identity, and self-worth. It is a book that will live in your heart long after you turn the last page.

Gay Historic Fantasy, Political Marriage of Convenience and all the goodness of incredible and fleshed out characters, an interesting class system and society, a little bit of magic, a lot of political intrigue, a wonderful slow burn romance with a hurt-comfort dynamic, culture clashes, friendships, and a good mystery. Everything in this worked for me and I adore this book!
“In so many ways, I wish I could be other than I am. But I am only myself, beyond alteration.” “Yours is a strange and stubborn endurance, Velasin.” “Stolen me? As well to say a caged bird can be stolen by the sky.” “All I could to was go forwards, into whatever small scrap of future remained for me.” “If women were ment to be valued for their feminine skills, then why were the skills themselves devalued?”
3.5 würde ich geben. Wenn man ein Auge zudrückt was Spannungsbogen und Charakter Ausarbeitung (vor allem vom Endgegner) angeht, dann ist es schon kein schlechtes Buch. In der ersten Hälfte hatte ich auf jeden Fall meinen Spaß. Die zweite Hälfte hatte mich dann leider bisschen kalt gelassen. Musste auch beim letzten Showdown eher lachen, als dass es fesselnd war... Was nicht gerade für die Ernsthaftigkeit der Sache steht. Das Buch entscheidet sich leider nicht ob Romanze oder Krimi und macht beides damit so semi gut, was dem Ganzen eher schadet. Aber eine heilere Welt mit Boys love Story war schon ganz nice zu erleben
