All The Tropes

Hello to our regulars and welcome to our new comers!
 
Tropes. What are they and are they all created equal? 

​That’s what we wanted to know too. In the varied worlds of fantasy books there are immeasurable ways to build a world, birth a character and of course let’s not forget the spice.  That little niche is where all the tropes like to live and that’s where we the ever-devoted readers settle in and relish or judge what happens within any given story.
 
I, Emily am a solid fan of fantasy spice, I like to keep it within the realm of the possible. I can enjoy from a literary perspective the paranormal aspect of vampires, werewolves, fae/faries and the myriad of gods and goddesses that abound in romantic fantasy fiction.  I draw the line at monsters. That’s a hard no on the fantasy meter. I like tropes that come with rules, however loose they may be there are still guidelines. That’s not to say that a little dabble into the weird and strange isn’t a welcome break. There are always exceptions to every rule. Shout out to Ruby Dixon and her book Ice Planet Barbarians.
 
Diana, I am the polar opposite. Thrillers are my cup of tea, that’s not to say that I’m not into fantasy but, and that is a big but, I gravitate towards the psychological thrillers and weird reads. Not gonna lie the Grumpy/Sunshine trope is my go to in the contemporary fantasy realm. That’s not to say I won’t dabble in other tropes.
