FWIW I am a 29 yo man who has read alot of scifi/fantasy including WoT, Malazan, Cosmere, Lotr, Dune, etc… but back when Brandon Sanderson released his YA book (now trilogy? series?) “Skyward”, I read the whole thing in 2 sittings. I was enthralled. Haven’t experienced a total immersion like it since.
