I recently discovered Jo Spurrier, who has one completed trilogy (Children of the Black Sun) which is really something original, with real stakes, complex characters, and no easy answers. The world building is fantastic too.
There's Juliet Marillier too, whom I've loved for a long time, but her books are very Celtic inspired. Her Seven waters series is her first and most popular, but she's done a lot of things other than those that I highly recommend. Her Caller series is a trilogy and finished, and while Celtic isn't romantic Celtic.
One thing I've noticed us how many fantasy novels from more than ten years ago or so are written with white male main characters even with female writers. For some writers who avoid that, there is also Octavia Butler (some of her work is fantasy, some science fiction, but all awesome). Robin McKinley, another favorite, works in medieval world a little, does adult fairy tale stories that are quite different (Deerskin will definitely not be the old white guy model), but also has works set in colonial inspired worlds and the modern world.
I am a big fan of literature, and I used to read a lot of books and write reviews about them. However, even though I have a lot of experience regarding writing reviews, I still needed some help writing a literature review. I was really happy when I found this platform https://papersowl.com/literature-review-writing-service , it helped me a lot and I found new information for me even though I have a lot of experience!
I also second the NK Jemison recommendation, and could keep going.
I was wondering why nobody's talking about Jo Spurrier, this guy is a genius, love his art!
