Another science fantasy request list

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.

Just to echo recommendations for Lois McMaster Bujold, Diana Wynne Jones and Rosemary Kiersten's Steerswoman series.

I also prefer more ‘urban’ fantasy. Lots of good recommendations above but would add:
Vivian Shaw, Dr Greta Helsing series
Daniel O’Malley, Checquy files
Sebastian de castell Spellslinger Series
Tom Pollock: Skyscraper Throne

Also possibly Gail Carriger if you like St Mary’s and Invisible Library. Bit silly but lots of fun. Start with Soulless.

I love Margaret Atwood - Oryx & Crake is my particular favourite in this genre but she's written so many which could be classed as fantasy.

Or for more conventional fantasy, wizards and dragons and a quest, my favourite is Raymond E Feist - "Magician". I'm not usually a fan of the wizards and dragons Tolkeinesque fantasy stories but Magician is wonderful.

The Invisible Library series by Genevieve Coglan.

Have you read any Jasper Fforde? He wrote what looked like two series if you read the books in publication order, but they're so much more. Important to read in the right order, at least the first time. Thye are the Thursday Next series and the Nursery Crime series.
