I suggest anything by Lois McMaster Bujold - fantasy or science-fiction. Vorkosigan series is more or less space opera; five gods universe is theological fantasy with a made up theology that is both different and believable; Sharing Knife is more or less a romance-fantasy quartet set in an alernate america during the 1800s and contains, among other things very interesting looks at duty, love, family and race.
Also recommend Transformation and sequels by Carol Berg. Second the Scott Lynch recommendations above.
Nation by Terry Pratchett is an interesting look at death from an aetheist's perspective - it's marketed as a kids book that adults will enjoy, but I think it's really the other way around.
