"This book is good but seems to be more literary aiming, where it needed more genre focus in its writing. It it actually added a horror arc to it then it would've nade rhe drama even more impactful"
Yeah, unfortunately there does seem to be a lot of crossover between YA and death-by-trope. I guess the genre's a bit of a goldmine so many publishers/authors may treat it as formulaic.
Oh the tropes are what kill me. It's some variation of kids movie & Harry Potter. Chosen one, morality tale, hidden world like ours, hetero love interest, best friend role, rival role, ancient war, adults not believing the kids, kids taking things into their own hands, etc
The 2 YA books I liked, Way Down Dark & Warm Bodies, focus on a few tropes and delve into them. Like Warm Bodies really explores the idea of being undead from a different perspective, & the love story is the focus of the plot & characters development, feeling genuine.
