I seem to have been through most of the science fantasy books that are suggested and need to expand my horizons further.

Things I've read and liked so you can see the type

Rivers of London
Trudy Canavan - all
Robin Hobb - all
Brandon Sanderson - all
The Name of the Wind & sequel (when is the third going to come out??)
Ursela le Guin - most
Neil Gaiman - most
Naomi Novik - all

I have not read any Terry Pratchett - which one might be worth starting if I go down that route? Should I try more science fiction although I'm not so keen on robots / space etc, I like magic worlds and mystery.

The ardalia trilogy by Alan Spade was good. An epic fantasy without human characters and magical.
The pearl saga by Eric van lustbader another epic fantasy with a small amount of alien and plenty of magic and some demons

The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.

I like lots on your list and I would say maybe Connie Willis? Also I love Neuromancer which my terrible username makes clear. Neuromancer is a bit spacey and sciencey but mostly just a magical world of spacey science.

I’ve just started a series which is quite similar to Rivers of London, by Paul Cornell, think the first one is London Falling.
With Terry Pratchett I would start with Mort or Guards Guards.
Have you read The Magicians by Lev Grossman? Or going old school, the Dragonriders series by Anne McCaffrey? In terms of science fiction, I absolutely loved Vernor Vinge’s A Deepness in the Sky and A Fire Upon The Deep, but although they do have the mystery worlds element to them, there is quite a lot of sci Fi in there as well. No robots as far as I remember!
