Looking for High-Quality Historical Fiction. No Mindless Power Trips or Brain-Dead Plotting

I want high-quality historical fiction that’s engaging and doesn’t dumb things down or rely on brainless plots. It can be satisfying, but don’t treat readers like idiots.

They’re unoriginal and mindless...

I don't want that kind of thing, and I don't want dumb power fantasies or womanizing novels either. And definitely no damn System novels! I'm looking for something with decent writing.
