Have you tried any of Juliet Marillier's books? She writes great fantasy based in Irish folklore. Most of them aren't YA but they're entertaining.You could start with her specifically YA trilogy, Shadowfell.
However, I enjoyed her Blackthorn and Grim trilogy more, so you could start with Dreamer's Pool.
I also liked Heart's Blood, which is a bit of a Beauty and the Beast retelling.
Harp of Kings is another more recent one.
@Lynne Stringer Thank you for the recommendations :) the first one kind of reminds me of some aspects of the Witcher books. I'd also been wanting to diversify beyond just Greek mythology so these are really welcome recommendations
so...im currently on bok 10 of the grey wolves series (I linked book 1) and I honestly forgot how much I love this series. I'm so glad there's more than just the first 8 that I read.Prince of Wolves
for me it was never lie by Frieda McFadden
Thank you to all of you for your recommendations, i'll be sure to check them out :)
powerless or once upon a broken heart or the stolen heir series!!!
@Hari I looked up the premise of powerless and the Stephanie Garner works, but they all seem really stereotypical, YA like any other. stolen heir I plan to read eventually, I got myself a copy, I just hope it's as good as the trilogy

Recently finished Divine Rivals. Objectively great book, lots of moments I enjoyed, but i buddy-read it with a friend and would not have finished had I not been buddy-reading. Currently reading Mistborn but it's so boring and basic apart from the Allomancy magic system. I'm not sure what my tastes have convoluted to and was wondering if there's any recommendations.
Books that I enjoyed but didn't necessarily get me out of the slump:
Ali Hazelwood books (read like 4)
Divine Rivals
Norse Mythology
Books that I did not enjoy at all:
Red Queen
Shatter Me
Throne of Glass
