Any fantasy recommendations for someone who doesn't like fantasy?

I know it might sound weird but I really want to start reading fantasy and I tried some popular fantasy books from the library (legends and lattes, blood&honey,) but I just don't like them but I love fantasy book covers so much and I'm to broke to buy a book just for a cover, so I also want to like the book so I need some recommendations. I important thing is that I don't like alot of smut, romance is okay but not those descriptive, disturbing scenes lol

Have you tried Caraval? Twilight is a good one too, but my favourite one is six of crows

I'm not much for fantasy either but enjoyed "The House in the Cerulean Sea" by T.J. Klune.

Pathfinders Way by TA White is a good adventure fantasy with some romance (it is the adventure that makes the book awesome).
Most anything by Tamora Pierce. Her writing is considered YA but I reread most of her work every year due to it being a favorite.
Dealing with Dragons is hilarious but also a little YA. No real romance. So good though.
Anything by Ilona Andrews is awesome! I love their Inn Keeper series, as well as Kate Daniels.
I have more recommendations, but let's see if what is here hits the mark.

Definitely give Divine Rivals. It's very light on the fantasy elements so it's perfect for people who aren't huge fantasy fans

I don't read a lot of fantasy either, but I've read the Red Rising series for a friend & I will say, each book has been better. It's been kinda cool watching the author grow into it.

Also, I guess it's more sci-fi, but Constance was one of the favorite books I read a couple of years ago & the sequel Chance was good, but idk when the 3rd book will be released, so if you're impatient like me, you may want to wait lol

The Folk of the Air series by Holly Black is best for you.

From Blood and Ash is fantasy but to me it felt very subtle. It was an enjoyable start to my love for fantasy. Then I read Throne of Glass and now I'm hooked. Both of those inadvertently taught me about culture, relationships, passion, self discovery and embracing change.

Half a Soul - Olivia Atwater (very cute and light)
Anything by Neil Gaiman (he writes many stand-alones so you don’t have to commit to a series)
The Emperor’s Soul - Brandon Sanderson (this is a novella and a great intro to the high fantasy genre)
