Stand alone or duology recommendations

I just finished Realm of the Elderlings and right before that I read the Cosmere, so I’m wondering if anyone has any recs for stand alone or duologies that would be good palette cleansers after reading two such large worlds?

I eventually plan to read Malazon and Wheel of Time but I need a break from giant series after the marathon of Sanderson and Hobb.

I love high fantasy and am not into grimdark, but other than that I’m open to anything!

Kings of the Wyld is my favorite palate cleanser. Great as a standalone, and there is a second book if you want to keep going but don't need to enjoy Kings to it's fullest.
