Pros

  • i think Rook & Rose by MA Carrick and multiple Sanderson books (Warbreaker, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, Tress and the Emerald Sea, Mistborn) are good for people coming from romance
  • Tress of the Emerald Sea and Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Sanderson both have full cast versions that are excellent.
  • I mean these are mine but they're all well known soooo~ ... Yumi and the Nightmare Painter
  • I’d try a secret project book before you give up on him. Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, Isles of the Emberdark or Sunlit man.
  • There is one romantasy story in the cosmere that is a standalone that I just now rememberd. "Its Yumi and the Nightmare painter". Its one of the most popular books of Sanderson of the last few years. And its quite the nice gateway into t...

Cons

  • Brandon Sanderson’s book “Yumi and the Nightmare Painter” also involves two characters who make art - one who makes stone piles and one who does traditional painting art
  • Not a series, but Yumi and the Nightmare Painter.
  • The book had a lot of good points, but I don't know, I just wasn't engaged enough.

There is one romantasy story in the cosmere that is a standalone that I just now rememberd. "Its Yumi and the Nightmare painter". Its one of the most popular books of Sanderson of the last few years. And its quite the nice gateway into the cosmere.

I’d recommend Yumi and the Nightmare Painter or Skyward for similar tones to Tress

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter: Great if you're a fan of anime/manga aesthetics, slow-burn romances, otherworldly magic, etc.
