What led to the rise of 90s fantasy novels?

One characteristic is strong female characters. They are often independent, like Feyre in 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' who doesn't rely on others to survive in the faerie world. Another is the exploration of female power. In 'The Girl of Fire and Thorns', Elisa discovers her own power and how to use it. Also, these novels usually have complex female relationships, either as friends or rivals, which add depth to the story.

The tradition of literary salons and gatherings where people shared concise narratives played a role. This encouraged the creation and dissemination of short, impactful stories.

Somali pirates are groups of individuals from Somalia who turned to piracy. Their rise was mainly due to the collapse of Somalia's central government. This led to a lack of law and order, and many fishermen lost their means of livelihood. With the rich fishing grounds unprotected, foreign trawlers came in and overfished. So, some Somalis took to piracy to protect their waters at first and then later for financial gain.

Female - led YA fantasy novels often feature strong - willed and independent female protagonists. These characters are usually on a journey of self - discovery. For example, in 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins, Katniss Everdeen is a young woman who has to rely on her own skills and wits to survive in a brutal, dystopian world. They also tend to have complex relationships, whether it's with friends, family, or love interests.

Economic depression in Germany was a major factor. People were desperate and Hitler promised solutions. Also, the Treaty of Versailles had left Germany in a bad state and people were angry about it. Hitler took advantage of this national discontent.

J.K. Rowling was one of the most prominent. Her 'Harry Potter' series, which began in the 90s, became a global phenomenon. Another was Terry Pratchett with his Discworld series. His unique blend of humor and fantasy attracted a large following.

One great female - led YA fantasy novel is 'The Girl of Fire and Thorns' by Rae Carson. The protagonist, Elisa, is a young woman who embarks on a journey of self - discovery and great challenges. Another is 'Shadow and Bone' by Leigh Bardugo. Alina Starkov is a powerful female character in a richly imagined fantasy world. Also, 'Throne of Glass' by Sarah J. Maas features Celaena Sardothien, a fierce assassin who has to navigate a complex world filled with magic and politics.

One great female - led fantasy novel is 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' by Sarah J. Maas. It follows Feyre, a young woman who is drawn into a dangerous and magical world. Another is 'The Girl of Fire and Thorns' by Rae Carson, with Elisa, a princess with a special destiny. Also, 'Red Sister' by Mark Lawrence features Nona, a girl with extraordinary powers in a harsh and unforgiving world.

😋I recommend the following novels to you: [Dragon Soul: Trash falls from the sky, inherits the mysterious inheritance, and rises step by step.] [Demon Sword Supreme: A reborn peerless Martial Emperor who can sweep away all enemies with invincible strength.] [Paragon Sword God]: A good-for-nothing youth rises against the heavens and becomes the Paragon Sword God.
