Book Recommendations?

I'm in need of an engaging, at least slightly escapist, satisfying novel to read. In moods like this I'm mostly drawn to fantasy, space opera and historical fiction.

Something along the lines of Guy Gavriel Kay, Lois McMaster Bujold, Jacqueline Carey, Anne Bishop, Sara Donati, Parke Godwin, Sean Stewart. . .

I just finished re-reading Kushiel's Mercy, and it's making me impatient with everything else I try to pick up.
