I am looking for a fantasy book that parts from the Tolkien-ish tropes (I love Tolkien, but when I want to read Tolkien, I will read Tolkien).
It can have fantasy races and such; but perhaps a plot that varies a bit from the rise of an ancient dark lord who now threatens the realm, and must be defeated by an unlikely hero or group.

How about “An Unusual Practice” by Tom Jolly. A newly minted MD has started practicing in an inner city clinic…and ends up figuring out how to help supernaturals with various health problems. He also runs into a bad element. Just released the 2nd “Unusual Remedies.”
James White did the same for science fiction with a series about Sector General- a hospital at an interstellar crossroads treating various types of aliens.
The Myth Adventures series by Aspirin is also unconventional–did it first.
