The Twentieth Wife and its sequel, The Feast of Roses by Indu Sundaresan are fictional accounts of Nur Jahan's life as she falls in love with Mughal emperor-to-be Jahangir and maneuvers her way into the Mughal court. I haven't read Sundaresan's other novel, Shadow Princess, but it is supposed to take place later in Mughal Indian history with similar themes.

Toshokan Sensou, a.k.a. Library War, is about the militarized war between libraries and the censorship laws of the government in a future, dystopian Japan. The novels, in particular, spend significant time detailing the many political factions in and many of the conflicts require subtlety and finesse, rather than outright military action, to be resolved. You can find ongoing English translations of the novel s here.

Ooh, thanks for the recs! Nur Jahan sounds awesome, and I adore epic historical fiction! I've watched the Toshokan Sensou anime, I haven't read the novels, so it's interesting to hear that they have a lot more political conflict.
