I’m not sure I understand your list. But I’m thinking you might like *Freedom and Necessity* by Brust and Bull. It’s epistolary and each author took two of the four voices, if I recall.
The warlord chronicles by Bernard cornwell, are pretty great!
“These are the tales of the land we call Lloegyr, which means the Lost Lands, the country that was once ours but which our enemies now call England. These are the tales of Arthur, the Warlord, the King that Never Was, the Enemy of God and, may the living Christ and Bishop Sansum forgive me, the best man I ever knew. How I have wept for Arthur”- the winter king
“But fate, as Merlin always taught us, is inexorable. Life is a jest of the Gods, Merlin liked to claim, and there is no justice. You must learn to laugh, he once told me, or else you’ll just weep yourself to death.”-the winterking
“History is not just a tale of men’s making, but is a thing tied to the land. We call a hill by the name of a hero who died there, or name a river after a princess who fled beside its banks, and when the old names vanish, the stories go with them and the new names carry no reminder of the past.”-excalibur
The Thornbirds by Colleen McCullough
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
Shogun by James Clave;
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
The Winds of War by Herman Wouk
