Awesome! Oh I thought of some trad fantasy that do good rep; Daughter of the Moon Goddess and Sanderson's Stormlight, Iron Widow, Xiran Jay Xhao, Legends and Lattes, Travis Baldree (sapphic Orc cosy fantasy)

Indie recs - I have read all of these and loved them;

The Skin, J.E. Hannaford - fantasy about a Selkie, excellent queer rep, great storyline.

Fire at her fingertips, Rebecca Crunden, queer short story, gorgeous. She also does some great demon/angel UF

Sisters at the edge of the World, Ailish Sinclair. Not so much queer rep but ND rep. 1st age Scottish historical fantasy.

Beautiful Undone, Melissa Polk: queer retelling of Edgar Alan Poe story

Borrowed Time, Russell Dean; time travel fantasy

The Thirteenth Hour, Trudie Skies - exceptional gaslamp fantasy. This is you all over I suspect.

Wrath of Olympus, EM Kkoulla. Alt history Roman fantasy.

The Magic Circle, Barry Ryerson: epic fantasy set in modern day times

Ascendant, Michael Miller - seriously tropey dragon story. Wonderful.

Bones to the Wind, Tatiana Obey - this has the dystopian you're looking for, with North African mythology inspired, queer rep and a thrilling storyline. An excellent debut.
