Trope Trials is the series from the Writing Expensive Words podcast that puts two books from the same trope up against each other. Today's trope is time loop. Today's battlebooks are Recursion by Blake Crouch and The Map of Tiny Perfect Things by Lev Grossman. Mandatory shout-outs to Groundhog Day, The Edge of Tomorrow, About Time, and, regrettably, Palm Springs (which doesn't have enough character growth to make you care about the story).
