    I'm currently binge-reading historical fiction, and these few are high-quality and my absolute favorites. I highly recommend the third one; the female lead is incredibly powerful, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and can both fight and argue effectively. Her unconventional ideas on the battlefield are absolutely brilliant! 👍👍
