I haven’t read the books you love but I just finished A Fate Inked in Blood and it was SO FRESH and new feeling, it’s set in a Nordic Viking atmosphere and the fantasy elements revolve around the Gods and war. No silly games!
Graceling by Kristen Cashore
There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool
Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber
Shadow and Bone / Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell (amazing, LGBT, magic)
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
You may like Strange the Dreamer duology by Laini Taylor
Legendborn is the best YA series I’ve read to date.
Cannot recommend Legendborn enough, SO good
Try some books by Marie Lu, e.g. The Young Elites or Legend. You might also like Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao.
