Top 10 Favorite Book Tropes
Tuesday, August 20, 2019I don't like to say I like a certain genre because I don't think a genre can be summed up into a whole one category. Sure, fantasy is fantasy but what about all the sub categories: urban fantasy and high fantasy and more. I certainly don't like every part of the fantasy genre so how can I say I like the genre itself. Instead, when pointing out favorite books, I discuss what I loved about them and usually it's not the genre, but certain tropes that made me fall in love.
