It’s Read Across America Day! Seriously, I don’t make these things up. It’s also known as Dr. Seuss Day, just fyi. So to celebrate, I’m sharing 5 short, no spice fantasy books to help get you reading!
If you are new to reading and want to start reading more but the idea of reading a 400 to 500 page book intimidates you, I’ve got you covered. It’s way less intimidating to read 100 to 200 pages rather than 500. I’ve collected 5 short, no spice fantasy books that are less than 300 pages to get you started reading.
PLUS, four of the five books listed are by self-published indie authors. So you can start your reading journey knowing that you are also supporting independent authors! Yay!

5 Short No Spice Fantasy Books
1: Whispers of a Broken Vow
This short, no spice fantasy book is only 246 pages and tells the origin story of the Blue Faerie. The full series has yet to be released, but the prequel is a perfect little introduction to fantasy.
2: Red Fairy and Fox
This Alice in Wonderland retelling is only 233 pages and is a completed trilogy of similar length books. You can read an entire series in no more than 235 pages for each book!
3: Crown and Serpent
This book is a prequel to the incomplete Fate of Eyrinthia series. A little on the longer side at 292 pages, this book is a villain origin story and can be read before diving into the actual series.
4: Wings of Betrayal
This series is the perfect way to start out reading fantasy! This is a 6 book series with each book being only between 96 pages to 186 pages (book 1). It was originally written as a mini serial series and has since been combined and revised into a full length novel. But to get you started, you can read this mini series and then decide if you’re ready to kick up your reading a notch and dive into the full, extended edition.
5: The Vampire Diaries
This is a completed quartet of short fantasy books all around the same length. If the Twilight books caught your interest but 500 pages felt like too much, this is the perfect starter book at only 272 pages.
