Historical Fiction with a Touch of Fantasy
Historical fiction with magic, whether a lot or a little. I've mainly included books set in the 19th century to the early 20th. Some don't specify what year they're set in but have the 'vibes' of that era.
First book in a series counts as the entire series.






Castles, Shadows, and Dark (Possibly Enchanted ๐) Forests
Books to reach for when you feel the itch to daydream about running through a dimly lit castle, followed by a shadowy presence, only to discover a dark forest stretching out before you.
