I want to try reading books reading by women, but the genres I like are mostly fantasy/dude books (Sanderson, red rising, between two fires), any recommendations?

Ursula Le Guin is a fantasy GOAT. Jade City by Fonda Lee is a great series. VE Schwab also a fabulous author with some fantasy varieties!

Robin Hobb’s prose is miles better than anything Sanderson or Brown have ever written. You’ll be blown away.

I’m proud to say I read Red Rising years before the men got a hold of it, there are plenty of books with female audiences that are similar to the “dude books” shown above

I tried reading the poppy war, but after getting through the first act I shelved it, i was gifted katabasis though! So I don’t mind trying again

Saying this as a fan of Sanderson’s work. His prose is juvenile and his weakest point.

Definetly down because the introduction was so great, but then it became Chinese hogwarts and I felt so DENIED

Yeah you need to get to the tone shift. It stays like that for the rest of the series, I’m so serious
