I really, really enjoyed this! I thought I was getting into a kind of fantasy Red, White and Royal Blue, but a Strange and Stubborn Endurance is quite a bit harsher, so be forewarned (the author does list several content warnings at the beginning, so please heed them; they are no joke). Despite the sharper edges, this book was a very enjoyable ride, with an interesting setting, truly excellent friendships (Vel + Markel 4EVA), a twisty mystery, and eventually an ooey-gooey slow burn romance that is very satisfying.
