contents We review the recent advances and current challenges in the field of strong spin-orbit coupled Kitaev materials, with a particular emphasis on the physics beyond the exactly-solvable Kitaev spin liquid point. To that end, we give a comprehensive overview of the most relevant exchange interactions in $d^5$ and $d^7$ iridates and similar compounds, an exposition of their microscopic origin, and a systematic attempt to map out the most interesting correlated regimes of the multi-dimensional parameter space, guided by powerful symmetry and duality transformations as well as by insights from wide-ranging analytical and numerical studies. We also survey recent exciting results on quasi-1D models and discuss their relevance to higher-dimensional models. Finally, we highlight some of the key questions in the field as well as future directions.
