Sad. I like political elements and complication in story but way too much death and trust broke with beloved characters which made me a non fan. <br /><br />Agree with what has been said about treads, they come, the go and they rise again. <br /><br />Juneta keyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08815758043024184034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-90616391468446170672017-11-28T15:55:32.508-08:002017-11-28T15:55:32.508-08:00Another trend will come along eventually, like a S...Another trend will come along eventually, like a Sharknado. :) There will remain fans of both and some book down the line will make the quest hot again.M Paxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096697282530998519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-54728016997918096572017-11-28T10:33:19.168-08:002017-11-28T10:33:19.168-08:00Trends within genres are almost a given.

I much prefer it when an author doesn't slavishly follow the trend though - and prefer books which can meld genres too.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-24443329340032539642017-11-28T08:45:04.049-08:002017-11-28T08:45:04.049-08:00Trends within genres do seem to rise up, dominate ...Trends within genres do seem to rise up, dominate for a while, and slowly drift away as another trend within the same genre comes up.

All genres tend to have these sort of cycles. I do enjoy political intrigue in fantasy, and while I was reading GoT long before the TV series, I don't require that much politics. What I love about GoT is the characters.Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.com
