- Latest Review: "A World Within Our World" by J. M. Parker
Historical fantasy is quite popular, but sci-fi is much harder to come by. I recently finished "The Killing Moon" by N K Jemesin. It's a fantasy/sci-fi (it takes place on another planet), but the society is based off of Egypt. The magic and lifestyles are more Ancient Egypt, while the politics and race relations are more reminiscent of the age of imperialism.
So it's not "historical", technically, because it's another planet, but the world is based on a place that existed in history. Not sure if that counts!
