Writing in third person omniscient can be easy to understand in concept but difficult to master. For those looking for more books from which to take examples, I’ve compiled a list of every novel I’ve read and can personally confirm to be written in this point of view. It’s organized by year, with the most recently published at the top.
This post gives an overview of third person limited point of view, as well as 8 examples (and excerpts) of fiction books which use the third person limited narrative/point of view.
This category contains articles about novels which use a third-person narrative structure; a mode of storytelling in which the narration refers to all characters with third person pronouns like he, she, or they, and never first- or second-person pronouns. The narrator can be omniscient or limited.
Narratives employing a third-person perspective utilize pronouns such as "he," "she," "it," or "they" to relate the story. This perspective allows for varying degrees of narrative distance.

I actually hate third person generally, but one of my favorite books is {Kiss an Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips}. It’s contemporary - not sure if that matters for you! ETA it’s dual perspective, too!

Third person perspectives tend to offer more objectivity for a reader. This is especially crucial in non-fiction writing, but can also be important in fiction.

Most fantasy books are third-person limited however there are some genres that go other ways. I noticed urban fantasy leans a bit more toward first person. In general, I'm fond of 3PL so my library might be biased.
