A close-up of Brandon Sanderson.
Brandon Sanderson is known for his fantasy and sci-fi stories, but the author makes sure to read a wide range of genres — and his latest romance recommendation is one everyone should check out. Sanderson is a big advocate for reading outside one's comfort zone, and he noted that some of his childhood favorites would be considered romantasy books today.
He also regularly defends romantasy as a gateway into reading fantasy, and he ventures outside his usual categories himself, occasionally sharing his experience. That's what happened in a recent TikTok video from the author, during which he offered a positive review of a romance novel he recently read. The book is by an author known for penning some of the biggest hits in the genre. And Sanderson is right: readers looking to branch out should pick up Book Lovers by Emily Henry. Brandon Sanderson Had Good Things To Say About Emily Henry's Book Lovers Great Big Beautiful Life is getting attention as Henry's latest romance offering to hit shelves, but the author has no shortage of compelling titles — and Sanderson recently dug into her 2022 hit, Book Lovers. As Sanderson noted, the novel has"a really clever premise," one he likened to the movie Enchanted. Book Lovers kicks off with literary agent Nora Stephens being broken up with, leading her on a trip to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina with her sister. There, she repeatedly runs into Charlie, a book editor with whom she's had plenty of tense dealings in the past. As time goes on, their rivalry turns into something more, Sanderson praised the novel, calling it"fun" in addition to clever. Although it's not groundbreaking compared to other romance stories, Henry's 2022 release is one everyone should read. And Sanderson's enjoyment of it proves that even sci-fi and fantasy fans will find something to love. Why Fantasy Fans Should Give Book Lovers A Chance Book Lovers really does have an engaging premise, and like Henry's other romance books, it manages to balance its romantic storyline with deeper and more complex topics. This sets Henry's books apart, and it makes its narrative one that fantasy and sci-fi readers will appreciate. After all, those stories frequently deal with topics like trauma and grief. The novel also has top-tier banter, which adds to the chemistry between its leads. Those looking for romance books where the characters have lots of personality should definitely pick this up. Fantasy tends to place a large focus on building complex and memorable characters, and that element of Book Lovers will make fans feel right at home. Finally, Book Lovers offers a rivals-to-lovers dynamic — which isn't quite enemies to lovers, but it's one that romantasy readers will be on board with. And the novel is a love letter to the publishing industry, which any reader can appreciate. Needless to say, there are many great reasons to take Brandon Sanderson's latest TikTok recommendation to heart.
