No matter how many new books I read, the historical fiction just keeps coming! But considering how good some of the books from January turned out to be (shout out to Burn Down Master’s House and A Beast Slinks Toward Beijing), I can’t say I’m complaining. I have hopes just as high that a number of the books on this list are going to blow me—and you—out of the water. These new February historical fiction books are filled with characters both familiar and new, over the top and understated, and everything in between. You’ll meet singers, soldiers, doctors, con artists, and choreographers. Some are based on historical fact, some are wildly inventive tales that reimagine history as it was and as it could be. All of them are certainly well worth a read.
