A while back I asked for suggestions on closed-door romance books to read. I picked up a few and have enjoyed the ones set in medieval-esk times most. The political aspects of some of them were expecually fun. Now looking to scratch this new itch before it gives me hives, I want to know if anyone has any recommendations. Yes, I've read "a song of ice and fire", they're very good books but I don't simply want the dark and dower. If you have a book that is darker I don't mind of course. It's just that I want a wide spectrum of fictional politics.
I expecually wish to read stories involving arranged marriages, royal family drama and all manner of court politics. If sir Harold of north buckberry stepped on duke Ranheart's shoe I want it to be explored and for there to be political conversation of it. I want backstabs and alliances and canoodling about the whole hold. Of course I know a book can't be all about gossip and I would prefer it not be anyways, I just mean I want real thorough exploration of the consequences of these things. So when it is about murder or infidelity it has a heavy toll.
Thank you for your consideration.
