You can also consider the reputation of the author. Authors who have a track record of writing accurate and interesting historical fictions are more likely to produce good work. For instance, if an author has written several well - received books in the genre, chances are their new work will also be good. Additionally, the level of historical detail matters. If a book can transport you to a specific time period with its vivid descriptions of the era's culture, politics, and daily life, it's likely a great contemporary historical fiction.
