Are there any tropes in some books you just can’t get enough of? (literature.cafe)

I like time travel, if that's a trope. I'm always looking for a new take on it as many different stories using it have already been told.

Check out Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel, it’s such a good book!

I recently finished Station Eleven and honestly thought it was a bit boring. After that read I was put off of that author. Is Sea of Tranquility on par with Station Eleven? Should I reconsider?

Ooh yeah, if you didn’t enjoy Station Eleven, then you probably wouldn’t enjoy Sea of Tranquility. It’s not exactly the same, but it’s close in terms of style and structure.
