I would highly recommend The Unreal Life of Sergey Nabokov by Paul Russell. It’s a fictional autobiography of Vladimir Nabokov’s younger brother, spanning throughout the World Wars (but it’s not really a ‘war’ book). It was super engaging and after I finished I had to remind myself that it isn’t actually the real story of a person.

Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel was really good, The Gates of Europe by Serhii Plokhy (nonfiction-esque narrative), *The Long Ships* by Frans G. Bengtsson ( was really really good) , I, Claudius by Robert Graves,The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell (Warlord Chronicles series), The Siege by Helen Dunmore well I don’t know what 100 % looks like but these were very good in my opinion
