Bound to the Shadow Prince by Ruby Dixon
2.0
Infuriating. Each of the two main characters took turns in being the one I hated, but at about 80% I nearly DNF'd when the male lead told his wife how it was NBD that his people were enslaving and raping her people, including her sister. "That's just war" he says, and then suggests these wives are somehow at fault for not stopping their husbands from going to a war ordered by their King.
Somehow I pushed through the last bit just to roll my eyes at the dumb as hell twist. I love Ruby, but these full-length books or the ones where she tries to weave in actually sensitive topics rarely go well. This was time I will never get back. I'm going to go re-read some Icehome books now and try to forget this exists.
