Ranking 30+ Book Tropes & Topics: Do They Deserve A Red Card or A Goal?

In honor of the World Cup, we're ranking fantasy and romance tropes as red cards or goals, covering everything from accidental pregnancies and surprise betrayals to sprayed edges, bonus chapters, and the infamous "she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding." Expect strong opinions, plenty of laughs, and callouts to books like Red Rising, This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me, and One Golden Summer. A fun, fast-paced episode for anyone who loves debating the tropes that make (or break) a fantasy or romance read! (P.S. this episode contains a spoiler for A Court of Silver Flames.
