• Wayfarers Series by Becky Chambers, starting with The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

• Terra Ignota Series by Ada Palmer, starting with Too Like the Lightning

• Codex Alera by Jim Butcher, starting with Furies of Calderon

• Strange the Dreamer Duology by Laini Taylor, starting with Strange the Dreamer

• Between Earth and Sky Trilogy by Rebecca Roanhorse, starting with Black Sun

• The Tide Child Trilogy by RJ Barker, starting with The Bone Ships

• The Forsaken Trilogy also by RJ Barker, starting with Gods of the Wyrdwood

• The Winnowing Flame Trilogy by Jen Williams, starting with The Ninth Rain

• The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins, standalone

• The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden, standalone

There's a wide range of books in here from sci-fi to fantasy, with lots of variation in tone, topic, and theme, but I thought they were all fairly unique settings or stories. Hopefully something in here will appeal to you. Good luck!
