Fantasy book with a black protagonist was a prompt for my local library’s book bingo a couple of years ago. I ended up reading Song of Blood & Stone by L. Penelope. Totally out of my norm but I enjoyed it. It also happens to be YA.

Try the work of Nnedi Okorafor. Zahrah the Windseeker, the Binti series, and the Akata Witch trilogy all fall into this category.

I enjoyed Cinderella is Dead, though it might be darker than you’re looking for. I haven’t read that author’s other work yet but she also has a take on Snow White that I’ve heard is good.
