One of our favorite fantasy subgenres is historical fantasy. The best books immerse you in an entirely different time period, have magic, and often leave you with a bit more knowledge than you started. It's a fun way to uncover new aspects of history to explore while also having all of the things that make fantasy so enjoyable. In this episode, we share our favorite historical fantasy novels based on geography and time period. If you're looking for a specific historical vibe, this is for you!
