I was hoping to get some suggestions for books that chronicle the fictional history of a fictional world, in the vein of *Fire and Blood* by George R. R. Martin or *Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel* by Susanna Clarke. This could be some historical fiction or fully fantasy, but I’d like something that is told from an outside perspective looking back on historical events, not from any specific character’s point of view. Thanks!
