I'm gonna throw some old school stuff out there, though I also strongly support Eddings and the Belgeriad, Erickson and the Malazan novels, elric of Melnibone, and Tadd Williams' Green Angel Tower.
An oft overlooked, but in my opinion TOP TIER fantasy author straight from the Tolkein style (to straight, as Silver Call was basically a "what if the dwarves came back to reclaim Moria after defeating Sauron?" what-if novel) is Dennis McKiernan. His main series Iron Tower and Silver Call is a reworking of LOTR leading into the aforementioned retaking of Moria. But don't let that dissuade you, he has a very unique voice and really visceral writing . The old novel covers were OUTSTANDING in visualizing his words.
I recommend Iron Tower first, though my understanding was he wrote Silver Call first, then the publisher asked him to do his spin on LOTR to be published first. His other Novels are largely standalone prequels and all are fun.
Another, very non Tolkein, fastandy series is from Erik Van Lustbader, mostly known for sexy modern ninja novels. But he has some great fights and isn't so tied to the heroes journey/big bad.
There are actually 5 novels in this, and they are all fast reads.
Last rec for now is John Normand GOR series. These are controversial for his "men are men and women love being subjugated" philosophy but it is a bit deeper than that and the first half dozen novels are.much more of a swashbuckling nod to Burroughs and Howard than anything else. Just stop when you roll your eyes too much
This brings me to my final thought, which is the absolute DEATH of exquisite, evocative cover art these days. We either get no art 'Cause it is a Kindle book, or some sort of abstract shit, or worse, a really bad 3D rendered atrocity. But a classical painting with strong characters, fantastic imagery, and immersion details is such a better way to go, it's probably my biggest sense of loss when browsing books today versus the 80s-90s.
