The thing that bothers me, and has for awhile, is how trope-heavy YA is. The plot, the writing, the worldbuilding, the character-building, everything comes secondary to "enemies to lovers," "grumpy vs. sunshine," "but there was only one bed," "love triangle" etc. YA fantasy gets a bad rap, which is a shame because there's some great stuff out there. I just wish tropes weren't quite as important as they seem to be.

This speaks to me from like ten years ago. I remember going into a bookstore and reading all the YA fantasy blurbs. It was like a Mad Lib.
"SPICY FEMALE TEEN PROTAGONIST" goes to "FANTASY LOCATION" and meets "HOT FANTASY GUY". Will blank be able to blank the blank?
I walked out without buying anything. I wasn't writing that kind of stuff and despaired for about ten years. Hearing everybody's tired of it is good to hear.

Iām kind of sick of having an entirely āmorally grayā cast. Believe me, books like Six Of Crows and Cruel Prince handle it wonderfully, but Iām so sick of everyone being a horrible person. Thatās what I appreciated so much about Realmbreaker. Yeah you had a few morally gray character (Mainly Sorasa). But watching characters like Dom and Andrey was nice because I missed idealistic good people. Weāre so obsessed with darkness and angst and I donāt entirely get the hype anymore.

I am all for a designated āfantasy romanceā genre to emerge. I am one of those girlies that needs more than just a romance, but often I get tired of just fantasy. Depending on my mood, I will verge deeper into fantasy or romance sometimes, but āfantasy romanceā is definitely my comfort place/home base/happy place

I actually like fae and I hate SJM books. I feel she ruined fae for a lot of people while wildly misrepresenting them. She thinks they are just sexy elves when they suppose to be cruel and one of my favorite thing about the fae is that they can't lie so they have to be very creative and it just doesn't exist in her books.
