I am on book 3 of this series by Sharon Kay Penman and love it like I did the first two. The only other historical series I have liked as much is the Kingsbridge series by Ken Follett. Any other suggestions for books similar to these? It doesn’t have to be a series as standalones would be fine as well. Thanks in advance

This feels obvious, but if you haven’t read it Penman’s novel *The Sunne in Splendour* is a masterpiece. Aside from that, have you read Mary Renault? Her trilogy about Alexander (Starting with *Fire From Heaven*) and duology about Theseus (Starting with *The King Must Die*) have a similar feel. Last one I’ll mention is the godlike genius Colleen McCullough whose Masters of Rome series is just…awe-inspiring.
