We all love a good trope sometimes, so here are five of my absolute favorites! Fantasy, especially, is rife with them, since many works are derivative and repetition is inevitable. Some that I’ve included are themes, but some of theme are scene types that I enjoy reading.
1. ENEMIES TO LOVERS This is my favorite trope in fantasy novels, but also in contemporary. From Tweet Cute to Wicked Saints & Ruthless Gods, I love them all. The character building! The tension! I will seriously read ANY book if it has this trope in it (provided it’s well-explored, that is.) 2. Fantasy character removing a ridiculous number of weapons from their person. I just think this is hilarious. 3. Competitions! Whenever a character has to go through a set of trials, it’s always interesting to see what tests the author chooses to fit the world they’ve built. 4. R O Y A L T Y (especially the “secret princess” trope) This plot twist is always a fun one, but I like reading about royals regardless of whether or not they were secret heirs or life-long aristocrats. 5. The group of friends full of archetypes When every character has a specific skill set and place in the group (think The Gilded Wolves or Six of Crows)… that’s good stuff.
