Now, I’ve divided this list into two sections. The first one is full of fantasy books that reimagine history and add magical elements. This means that they take inspiration directly from certain historical events to build a story. They reimagine history. The second section is all about fantasy books that just have a historical fiction setting. As a last disclaimer of sorts I just want to say that this list is by no means definitive or exhaustive — there are plenty of other historical fantasy books out there that are equally impressive and unputdownable! So without further ado, let’s get into nine of the best historical fantasy books.
