All the Hidden Paths by Foz Meadows

Continuing somewhat directly on from A Strange and Stubborn Endurance, Paths is much more political that Endurance. Which, to some bemusement, I absolutely enjoyed. Politics is much more entertaining when it has a veneer of queer romance and semi-feudal touches.

Meadows comes right out and says, “this is a book about what happens after you come out” and they are correct. It is also about the aftermath of trauma and the continuing effects of PSTD and how they can absolutely fuck you up and how people will still love you anyways. I love this series and hope that it continues but would also be happy with the duology.

Warning: this is what I would consider on the explicit end of romance so if that’s not your jam, you may want to skip this. (Or just flip quickly through some parts) If you’re a fan of (sort of) high fantasy, give it a try.

I received a free copy from NetGalley for my unbiased opinion.
