That depends a little on what you like. High fantasy? Modern fantasy? Low magic and gritty? You have *Babel* for 1830s semi-historical England fantasy, *Spear* for a genderbent retelling of Percival’s myth, *Circe* for a retelling of, well, Circe’s story (there’s a bunch more of the Greek myth retellings out there too like *Elektra* but I haven’t read those). There’s also *Piranesi* for something more weird and unusual about some guy in a strange dimension.
I’m not a huge fantasy reader and I can name these four off the top of my head so the answer is obviously yes, there are options, but it depends on what you’re after.

– Babel by RF Kuang is brilliant. Quite dense and detailed, but I really enjoyed it.
– The Priory and The Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon (although she has just released a prequel)
– Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susannah Clarke
– The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep by H G Parry
– The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
– Circe by Madeline Miller
– Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree (although, again a prequel has just been released)
– The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley
– The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V E Schwab
– 11.22.63 by Stephen King
– The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka
