I'm making my way through the Cosmere and would love some shorter standalone recommendations that I can slip in in between these massive books? I'm open to essentially anything!
omg definitely try “the slow regard of silent things” by patrick rothfuss! it’s short, dreamy and feels like a totally different vibe from big epic fantasy series without being too heavy.

I’ve been using the Murderbot series as palate cleansers lately. Fun, short books that you don’t need to read back to back.

I like to use T Kingfisher(romance) or Adrian Tchaikovsky (scifi) when threading a longer series like that. They both write excellent books that are either standalone or can be read as standalone and they keep it fairly short.
