Hi! ✨ There was one question in members introducing that really stood out to me and that is fav fanatasy standalone… Got me… I havent read one so if any of you have some in mind I would love to hear them 💖 TY

My first favorite fantasy standalone is Chimeras of Estmer. It has a complex plot with several seemingly unconnected stories that gradually converge like streams flowing into a river. There are also many characters and points of view, as well as extensive world-building featuring many countries, cultures, and races.
This book is very well-written, with vivid descriptions, yet it is an easy read with many surprising plot twists.
There is also a bit of elegant madness. One of the main characters, for instance, spends roughly half of the story as a cat because a villain who murdered his teacher and stole his magic also transformed him into an animal. Magic in this book is like a wallet that a murderer can take from his victim, so this character must return to human form, find his teacher's killer, and retrieve his stolen magic. The book also features a sentient puddle of water that follows and spies on people, eventually falling in love with a human girl, a cunning pirate with a living ship, and many other strange creatures and characters.
Another excellent standalone is Midnight in Everwood. This fantasy retelling of The Nutcracker features a twenty-year-old protagonist living in Edwardian Britain instead of a child. While fleeing from a sorcerer, she finds herself in a world where it is always winter and a mad tyrant rules.
This story is a blend of fairy tale and dystopia, and I think the author has a really beautiful and unique writing style.
The third book I would like to recommend is Silver Hands. It's part horror, part historical fiction, and part fantasy. It's like the Shogun series, but it's about an English girl, not an English guy, who happens to be in Tokugawa-era Japan. On top of that, she's being stalked by a demon in human form who wants to marry her. It's not exactly our world, though, because there's a flying island called Laputa floating in the sky above Japan. So there is a bit of AU history in this book as well.
Also, it's a bit like the first book in the Wizard of Earthsea trilogy, where the main character also runs away from a dark enemy at first, but then finds the strength to turn around and face the enemy and take the fight.

All of them sound really good and honestly will try to find either of them, in hope to find them all 🤞 Ty so much!

You're welcome!
I bought Chimeras of Estmer and Midnight in Everwood on Amazon, and I think you can still find them there. As for Silver Hands, I can't quite recall which website I downloaded it from because it was a few years ago. I'm not sure if it's still available, but I hope so!
Here are the books:
Chimeras of Estmer
Midnight in Everwood
Silver Hands
