My author did major research into the period, then wrote a masterpiece in eight overlapping and contradictory viewpoints. The characterization -- remember, the canon has none, so the author had to create all the characters -- is masterful, convincing, and builds on tiny details in the painting. The story is a cohesive narrative within its period and place. I showed it to a native Parisienne, and she thought it was incredible. And there's a bibliography!
I give you L'Abécédaire d'un duel. I'm waiting for reveals so I can read everything this author ever wrote, whether we share fandoms or not.
