It is dark fantasy set in Europe. The audiobook is good too.
Before we talked about The Hedge Knight I would have just recommended historical fiction to you instead of fantasy. I think you really enjoyed The Sunne in Splendour for example.
ya I did enjoy that quite a bit and you're right I'm probably much better off just going with historical fiction if you have any other recs pls share.
but ya I absolutely adore the dunk and egg stories esp 1&3 I have read and listened to the audiobooks a million times and will probably listen a million more times man the narrator is so fantastic (pretty sure it's the actor who played denarys brother who got the golden crown).

I did not get that vibe from her.
she seems incredibly smart and grounded and very meticulous in her research and seems to get interviews with ppl that are legit direct sources involved at a high level in whatever she's researching.
my 2 fav of her books are surprise vanish kill which is just like reading a movie in the best possible way you get sucked in and can't put it down and operation paperclip about the US top secret program to sneak nazi scientists into america to work for us.
