Counterpoint

Couldn't get into this at all. I suppose the world building was fairly interesting, but the characters in it didn't make any sense. The elves being captured at all was a ridiculous scene. Then the prince (who already has several wives and children) falls in lust/”love” with the prisoner who just killed 15 of his men, and decides to win him over with his kindness. And eventually it actually works. I just couldn't wrap my head around it.
