Do you like historical novels, /his/?

I prefer actual, more interesting history that happened in real life.

Love them. Quality tends to be pretty low tho, and accuracy even lower.
My favourite series is O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin.

Listened to a lot of Sharpe audiobooks. I love it.

Aubrey-Maturin is great. O'Brian is really good at injecting personality into the characters. You can imagine very easily how someone like Jack or Stephen would act in person; they have a lot of consistency, but also develop as they age.

The best historical fiction I've read was Memoirs of a Cavalier. When it was first published it was so convincing that people thought it was a true story.

The first Flashman novel was alright but it's not my period.

Love it, though after reading a load of Cornwell's books I'm really fed up of the old retired guy giving his life story thing.

My favourite historical fiction series was masters of rome, though I got bored after Marius, Sulla and friends all started dying off and Caesar took over as main character.

Does anyone know any good books set in Scotland that aren't about the wars of independence.

David I would be nice.

That author is SHIT. Across the board shit.

If they don't try to dramatize the actual events and persons involved and instead focus on an unrelated character living trough them or their consequences, yes.
