Been reading a lot of Brandon Sanderson, and I’m a woman. I hate to say it, but all the dudes who were gatekeeping his work and thinking they were better for reading him were just exaggerating. It’s just normal fantasy, nothing insanely deep. Love it tho

I must be on the wrong side of booksta. Definitely not disagreeing with you, on my end though (also as a woman who reads Sanderson) I just see more of the guys being the ones promoting him. The annoying ones I see are all the Sarah J Mass girls acting like they discovered/own mistborn. (Not putting them down for their reading tastes, just their behavior) I also don’t agree with anyone thinking they’re better for what they read

A lot of it, I hate to say, hits the same plot points as your average romantasy. Warbreaker for example. That’s not a bad thing, but him being considered a ‘man book author’ makes me laugh so hard.
