Fantasy Books

I'm looking for books similar to The Lord of the Rings. The world-building, relatable characters, and strong plot in LotR was great, and while I like high fantasy more, anything would be wonderful! I like fantasy quite a bit, but I find that there is a lot of romance recently. I'm not opposed to having a romantic sup-plot, but it shouldn't drive the plot. Although I prefer longer books, it's not necessary. Other books I have liked include Earthsea, Harry Potter, and Eragon.
