Permit me to thank you, by the way, for correctly writing "an historical novel", BTW. So few people bother with this kind of thing these days  . |
Some would say it's only correct if you don't pronounce the H, otherwise it's a foolish affectation. An foolish affection.
I've enjoyed most of the Cornwell I've read, too, particularly the Sharpe and Starbuck series. I'm not sure I like them as much when they're further back in time. I didn't get on quite as well with the Grail Quest books.
I've just finished
Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton, which I enjoyed a lot, after a slowish start, and I'm now into the recent Hugo winner,
The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu, which I'm not sure about so far.
