You may have already read these, but I have a few suggestions of decent books.
For historical fantasy, I love Judith Tarr, especially her Hound and Falcon trilogy and related Dagger and Cross/Alamut duology. Elves and the crusades, written by someone who knows her history.
I liked Freda Warrington's Court of the Midnight King. Also historical fantasy, though with a little metafiction/alternate reality.
Other historical, I recommend Barbara Hambly's Benjamin January series. It is a series of mysteries set in pre-Civil War New Orleans, with a free black man as the main character. Very nuanced views of race relations and class. Her fantasy is spotty (Dragonsbane good for balencing work and family for a female wizard, its sequels not as good).
