Depending on what you consider low fantasy you might like The Wardstone Chronicles. It is a series but the first few books all work fine as stand alones since there's not an overarching plot until later.

not a lot that aren't at least trilogies...
"Lamb" and "Fool", by Christopher Moore, they're both satires with fantasy elements, I'd recommend them for humor value over fantasy though.

there is "The Lies of Locke Lamora" by Scott Lynch, but thats the first book of three in an ongoing series.

there is the "Night Angel" series by Brent Weeks, it's a trilogy, and it's fantasy is climbing up the curve towards middle fantasy from low fantasy

the Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb...

these days nobody I know makes 1-offs in low fantasy.

I will give them a look!

I would rank LotR as a low-middle magic setting if that is to any help.

Have anyone read "The Red Knight" by Miles Cameron ?

>>50582624
nope, what flavor of low fantasy?

>>50583181
Idk, haven't read any. Only a book in the wheel of time series. I have mostly stuck with sci-fi and horror thrillers in modern time.

It's a series, not a single book, but the Emberverse series is pretty good. It is set in the 1990's and for some reason our technology fails, sending us back to medieval times. the early books are about how everyone is just trying to survive. So you got guys making swords and armor from cars, hydraulic catapults, a main villain using Saurons Eye as a banner.

Prince of Nothing series by R. Scott Bakker.
It isn't really low fantasy, but it takes off as low fantasy, and keeps the fantasy pretty low for the first couple of books, and when it does go for fantasy-elements, it does it really well.

It's kinda Tolkien meets the crusades with lots of sex.

Conan is one giant story arch. I fucking love it. Dude just travels around stabbing people he wants to (snakes, people, giants, demi gods, and more snakes) and liberating things he does like (gold, women, ships, weapons). Best part is he never gets too attached and he's always ready to go somewhere else and fuck up somebody elses stuff, person who stole his stuff, or for fun.

When you say Low fantasy do you mean "low in fantastical elements" or stories connected to our world like Shannara? If you are referring to the first, I recommend reading the Folding Knife and, Traitor Baru Cormorant and maybe the Shadow Campaigns.

Those are quite High fantasy I'd say.

>>50585503
eh, they were the lowest I could get.

I find the series highly entertaining. The world is based in part on ours and it is explained through the story. Features medieval life and warfare with lots of magic and fantastical creatures.

More like Princes of Mary Sues. I liked the writhing though.

I'm gonna recommend Brandon Carbaugh. His dwarf novellas are quite excellent, from a literary perspective, and they're definitely quite low.

The first law series by Joe Abercrombie isn't too bad for a read. Some elements of middle fantasy but mostly low I think.

I was pleasantly surprised by this series.
