In this video, I discuss being proven wrong about narrative elements. This is when you dislike something in one book only to find you love the same feature in another book (I reversed the order in the title for simplification purposes).

Books mentioned:
Hyperion by Dan Simmons
Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

Shogun by James Clavell
The Sunset Limited by Cormac McCarthy

Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield
Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell

The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez
Choose Your Own Adventure Stories

Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang
The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin
