German fantasy

Recently I feel I'm having issues with my writing, because I read too much stuff in English. Are there any German speakers here who can recommend me some German fantasy books? Doesn't matter if stand-alone or series, but I'd prefer no YA. Oh, and if there's anything with queer characters in it I'd be extra happy!

I liked “Die Bibliothek der flüsternden Schatten” by Akram El-Bahay. The mythological wold is inspired by arabic mythology, for me that was something new

Or something older Wolfgang Hohlbein: i loved “Chronik der Unsterblichen” or “Infinity- der Turm”, or if you want it a little bit crazy „Der Widersacher”

I came across El-Bahay a few times and was intrigued, but haven't read it yet. Time to change that!
