What's 'a bit like Philip Pullman but not Terry Pratchet'?

Been asked for a book that meets the topic title spec.

Anyone any ideas?! It's for an adult btw. Bit desperate, mate's birthday is tomorrow, can't get to a bookshop and Amazon's recommendations are a bit random and difficult to gauge just from the website.

Thanks

ursula le guin's wizard of earthsea series - technically for kids but like pullman, even better for adults

Neal Stephenson Baroque Trilogy - not fantasy but sort of alternative history

Diana Wynne Jones?

Wen Spencer?

Jasper Fforde?

Or, if he likes space opera,

David Weber?

Lois McMaster Bujold?

One more - Sherwood Smith - this series is brilliant!

Another vote for Nix and Abhorsen (less so the days of the week books)
