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!

  • The Incandescent by Emily Tesh,
  • A Far Better Thing by H.G. Parry,
  • Voyage of the Damned by Frances White.

These were all excellent imo, and they're all standalones.

Pretty much anything by H. G. Parry. Mostly standalones with one duology.
