I don't have much time at the moment with work and everything, so I'd really like to find some good fantasy books but not those massive 600-page doorstops. Do you guys have any suggestions for short trilogies or standalones that are quick reads?
Into YA fantasy, it goes way faster to read and it's often super addictive - stuff like *Six of Crows* or *An Enchantment of Ravens* you can devour in a few days. There are also plenty of cool standalones like *Sorcery of Thorns* or shorter epic fantasy books that hit hard without being 800-page walls of text. Fantasy short story collections can be cool too if you want really quick reads but with solid content.
Brandon Sanderson's stuff like Warbreaker or Mistborn: The Final Empire is dense but you devour it fast because the story really grabs you. If you want something even shorter, standalones like "The Goblin Emperor" by Katherine Addison or "Swordheart" by T. Kingfisher are perfect for reading between busy periods - like 300-400 pages you can easily finish in a few weeks.
Fantasy novellas and short story collections are really perfect for that - you can finish something in 2-3 evenings without feeling guilty about not tackling an 800-page tome 📚 The cool thing is that even established authors offer shorter formats, so you don't have to sacrifice story quality just because you're looking for something quick. Otherwise urban fantasy tends to be less thick than classic epics too, and it's often really gripping so you won't even notice the time flying by!
