Yep, that’s what I mean.
I prefer spaghetti over Jam in my literature.
Okay, I will allow THIS spaghetti related joke.
Anyway, I really should not have gone on about religion. Just having some fun there. A book series I really loved was by Naomi Novac. The Temeraire series is a historical fiction around the time of the Napoleonic wars. The major change is that dragons are a native species on earth. They are varying levels of intelligent. The main character is a captain of a ship that captures a French vessel. It was transporting an egg meant for Napoleon himself, but it hatches and attaches to the main character.
Of course this changes his life greatly and sadly ends his career as a navel captain. He serves Brittan in a different way now. The Air Force!

What are you into i guess. I have some series i liked and recently finished (about 600 pages per book) and its about wizards, clans, street gangs, nobles, war, fighting. It takes place before plate armor was invented.
the book series is call The Seven Realms
You might want to read something about it first though. Im a horrid explainer.
Wiki explanation: The Seven Realms is a fictional series of four novels written by American author Cinda Williams Chima. The series is high fantasy, set in the Queendom of the Fells, a traditional fantasy world of medieval technology, swordplay, castles, and keeps.
Synopsis: When 17-year-old Han Alister encountered three underage wizards setting fire to the sacred mountain of Hanalea, he had no idea that the event would precipitate a cascade of disasters that would threaten everything he cared about. To prevent the wizard Micah Bayar from using a magical amulet against him, Han steals it from the wizard during a skirmish. Later, Han learns that the amulet has an evil history. Han discovers that the amulet once belonged to the Demon King, the evil wizard who nearly destroyed the world a millennium ago. Now, the wizards will stop at nothing to get their amulet back.
Meanwhile, Princess Raisa ana’Marianna has her own battles to fight. After spending three years of freedom with her father’s family at Demonai Camp, by riding, hunting, and working at the famous Clan markets, the heir to the Gray Wolf throne of the Fells learns that her life is going to completely change. Court life in Fellsmarch pinches like a pair of tight shoes and Raisa feels like a cage is closing in around her. However, an arranged marriage and an eroded inheritance are the least of her struggles, as the power of the Wizard Council is growing and her people are starving and close to starting a rebellion.
Even though both Han and Raisa come from different backgrounds, they wind up intermingled in a race to keep the balance of the Kingdom and to save Fellsmarch.

Also sorry for the minor bump.
High fantasy would exactly be my cup of tea, with the exception of Tolkien.
Low fantasy all the way, son. 8)
