Love fantasy, Lord of the Rings, The Way of Kings, Name of the Wind, etc. But the books and series are always so long and take me months to get through. I’m looking for something similar that may be a bit shorter than a series of several 1000+ page books. Doesn’t have to be super short, but not epic in length either.
Thanks for any suggestions

Stardust by Neil Gaiman will fit into your description.
Mogworld by Yahtzee Croshaw. Main character is undead. Hijinks insue. Single book instead of a series. Very satisfying end.
Still a series, but each book is about 300 pages, Elenium/ Tamuli, Eddings
Le Guin’s books tend to be short. I’d start with “A Wizard of Earthsea.”
Sarah J Maas books (Court of xxx, House of xxx) are easy read. Sorta like fantasy romance novel.
You could read my book. It’s sci fi with a pinch of fantasy. “The Space Adventures Of Commander Laine.” It is a series but only book 1 is out right now.
Eyes of the Dragon – Stephen King
The Tales of Alvin Maker – Orson Scott Card
*Looking for fantasy books that aren’t super long*
Ah, a fantasy in of itself
Fourth wing by Rebecca Yarros. The first book is around 500 Pages and the second is going to be released in november (around 600 pages). I loved it so much that i read everything in less than 3 days!
T. Kingfisher books like Nettle & Bone or Thornhedge.
I’m reading Shades of Magic by VE Schwab now. The first 2 are about 300 pages. The last book is 600 pages, but a fast read.
It’s more soft world building though. From your list, it sounds like you’re more interested in hard world fantasies.
Piranesi!
Conan is a collection of short stories
You could try the Assasins Apprentice (First book of the Farseer Trilogy) by Robin Hobb. The books themselves aren’t super long, but there’s enough content to keep you going for a while if you enjoy it.
