ive been really digging the Battlefleet Gothic games and i was wondering are there any 40k books that focus on space battles? and if so which are the best ones?

Sea of Souls came out recently and it's quite good. The main characters are the command staff of an Imperial battlecruiser going through some difficulties.

'Betrayer' has the flag-captain of the World Eaters fleet as one of the POV characters, and shows two separate, massive voidfights in decent detail.

Betrayer is also a good book in its own right, and the flag-captain is a recurring character.

Ravenor Omnibus next, then Magos. They continue the "Abnettverse".

Magos is the linchpin of the whole series and should be acquired early in the process. Anyone who read the series before Magos was published didn't miss anything real, but Magos has the whole series reading order including short stories. It's a book in two parts. One of them is the novel "Magos" which takes place between the Ravenor and Bequin trilogies, the second is a collection of short stories, one or two of which take place before Xenos. The ideal reading experience is to follow the Magos reading order and get every story in order.

It's not mandatory. It's super not mandatory, but some of those shorts are outstanding pieces of fiction. A first-time reader isn't really missing much, but on a reread you're depriving yourself if you don't do it all in order.
