This is most prevalent with fantasy/YA works but it seems like there’s a million books out that copy the same formula as the Game of Thrones books for their titles, which is either:
A ___ of ___
or
A ___ of ___ and ___
It seems like authors just insert random words into the blanks and call it a day. It’s totally irrational but this really bugs me, I guess because of how lazy it seems? Sarah J. Maas in particular seems to title all of her books this way. Anybody else feel annoyed by this or am I totally on my own?
