Re: Tropes you like in some some mediums but can't stand in others
(Anonymous) 2015-10-05 02:32 am (UTC)(link)On the other hand, more people should read Gil's All Fright Diner. It's hilarious. Have you read his book Monster? I really liked the ending.
Perhaps it's the humour? What I know of your lists seem split that way.
It could also be the urban/high divide. Most of your first ones are in their own special world with its own special rules that is fairly divided from ours (yes, even Harry Potter). The second is very much set in our world, and makes sense as 'people down the street could be doing this'. That, as far as I know, is the difference between high fantasy and urban fantasy.

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
Mathemagics by Margaret Ball (I think this one has a short story prequel or two, but I haven't read those and was fine)
Either of these anthologies by Esther Friesner (which might be the way to start? Then you'd know if you like the humour or the genre): Witch Way to the Mall, Strip Mauled
Temping Fate by Esther Friesner
The Sherwood Game by Esther Friesner (she's my Mom's absolute favourite, can you tell?)
E. Godz by Esther Friesner and Robert Asprin
Carpe Demon by Julie Kenner is good, but I haven't read the rest of the series.
Moon Called by Patricia Briggs as well, same as above except I read... Three? My sister owns them, but I don't live in the same city any more.
Stravaganza-City of Masks by Mary Hoffman!!! It's YA, but I loved it and the sequels.
That's all that comes to mind. Check out the blurbs, maybe ask around. I spent far too long on google looking for half-remembered books already ;) I hope at least some of these work out for you!
