The other day, I finished Prince by Rory Clements, which was the 3rd of the series, and it gets better with every book. This author is underrated.
I jumped back in time, from the Tudor era to the Nero era, to get a little more of the Rome "lore" with Rome: The Emperor's Spy, by M.C. Scott. There's a good feedback about historical accuracy of the setting for this series (the story is fictional), so it's a pleasant way to discover a little more about that ancient world.
Scott takes the time to develop the background of each character and the story, it's not for the impatient. She writes from several key characters' point of view or from the narrator's, and so far there's no main hero but a convergence of several people's life into the main story line.
