If this thread gets folded in with the one about the state of fantasy, so be it. I figured this was a distinct enough topic that it might be worth starting a separate one.
Here's a bunch of standalone fantasy novels I've really enjoyed:
The Tower At Stony Wood, by Patricia McKillip
Ombria in Shadow, ditto
City of Bones, Martha Wells
The Death of the Necromancer, ditto
The Tower of Fear, Glen Cook
Bridge of Birds, Barry Hughart. (Cheating maybe? There are two sequels, but the book does stand on its own as a complete story.)
I'm sure I'll be able to think of more tomorrow.
