45 Recent Standalone Fantasy Books for When You Just Can't Commit to a Series - Page 2

"One of the infamous hazards of the fantasy genre is that it can be a giant time sink. Fantasy stories tend to come in big multi-book series, so committing to one title can mean signing up for 3 or 5 or (gulp!) 40 individual books.

In an effort to provide you with some literary counter-programming, we've collected here 45 standalone fantasy books for those times when you just can't commit to a series. The titles here are all relatively recent—published in 2021 or later—and wander through pretty much all of the relevant subgenres: dark fantasy, weird fiction, magical realism, urban fantasy, sword-and-sorcery, grimdark, and so forth."
