A lot of the men in his fandom (or at least the loud ones) have kind of created this stereotype for Sanderson since a lot of them will literally make comments like “Women don’t read Sanderson because they can’t understand depth” and it just creates a bad look for the author if his fans act like that

1. The Sword of Kaigen by M.L. Wang
My rating: 5/5
This book has become my favorite book of all time. Misaki has become one of my favorite female main characters of all time. Mamoru is my son. Takeru is...Takeru. Never have I cried so hard over a book. Never have I felt so strong and empowered.
My rating: 5/5

2. The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
My rating: 5/5
Y'all...this book healed something in me. It has all the elements of a classic fantasy novel, but with its incredible prose, lovable characters, jaw dropping villain, and beautiful worldbuilding, it is TRULY a cut above the rest.

3. The Poisons We Drink by Bethany Baptiste
My rating: 5/5
Never did I think I would enjoy an urban fantasy the way I did with this. From a brilliant main character to a magic system that actually made sense, the world created was both immersive and diverse. I laughed, I gasped, and I loved.

4. A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L. Jensen
My rating: 4/5
Other romantasies take note: this one is coming for your necks, just like the [spoiler!] heroine did for her husband. The female rage, passionate romance, 10/10 plot, and jaw dropping twist had me on EDGE. Oh, and did I mention vikings?

5. Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli
My Rating: 4/5
WE LOVE IT WHEN THE ENEMIES TO LOVERS ARE ACTUAL ENEMIES TO LOVERS! This book nailed it when it came to the plot, characters, gray area, and magic system- though I do wish we'd gotten to see a bit more of the magic. The twist at the end >>

2. The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri
My rating: 4/5
Where has this book been all my life? Morally grey lesbians set off to burn down a patriarchal empire. Their romance is off the charts, the side characters aren't two dimensional, and the plot kept me hooked! No notes! None! Not at all!

3. Faebound by Saara El-Arifi
My rating: 4/5
This book fought really hard for that second spot. African mythology? Enemies to lovers? A unique magic system, and two badass sisters narrating it all? I was OBSESSED.
The ONLY THING keeping this at a four is the lack of setting/character description
