Lénárt-Muszka, ZsuzsannaKövér, Beatrix2024-06-262024-06-262024https://hdl.handle.net/2437/374960In this thesis, I will briefly analyze the general features of the novels written by Sarah J. Maas and study the newest literary subgenres and their influence on contemporary literature. I will argue that the contemporary ‘romantasy’ writer, Sarah J. Maas’s bestselling high fantasy book series, A Court of Thorns and Roses (2015-), contrary to the criticism it has drawn, contains a strong, independent heroine, and as such, the books can be considered feminist. Also, I will take a closer look at the relationship between the characters, how their agency and their experienced trauma influence their lives and how they manage to get through it during the novels.22enFantasyHigh fantasySarah J.
