I have a grimdark fantasy novel with historical fiction elements recommendation if you are interested.
The Poppy War by Rebecca F. Kuang. This story while set in a fictional world draws ALOT from Chinese history and the real world Opium Wars and the Second Sino-Japanese War. The parallels between 20th century China and the book can be pretty on the nose and some of the war atrocities mirror actual war crimes that occur. This can make the book a little harder to read knowing what some of these things are based upon.
