Now the fantasy genre (in Russian fantasy) is the most popular and eagerly accepted by publishers around the world. At the moment, more and more authors are trying to write in this genre, absolutely do not care about the rules. There is no more stamped literary direction than this. In recent years, thousands of stories have been published about people being transported between temporary eras or simply traveling from one world to another.
The crisis of the genre
It is thanks to this genre that many have lost interest in science fiction, having made a simple conclusion that books copy each other, and over the past ten years the plot has not moved at all. This applies to absolutely any literary work, starting from the reevaluated Games of Thrones to the obvious plagiarism - The Hunger Games. If before the writer literally bit by bit built a project, considering every detail, now it seems that books are stamped literally on his knee or according to the grandfather’s system: “The worse, the more fashionable”. But enough of the sad, back to the connoisseurs of this genre.
Fantasy female author
The writer associated with this genre is Julia Jones. She used a practically ready-made system for creating characters and plot construction, which she subtracted from the authors from her childhood. It is her manner of presenting the material of the book that they are now trying desperately to copy.
Julia Jones created characters from her fantasies: be it a magician, a mysterious traveler, it reads uniqueness. If you want, then he is truly alive, and not a paper hero without will, and with a set of illogical actions. Julia's character is an image that, it would seem, take by the hand - and now he is ready to leave the pages of the book. Few people own such art.
The birth of a writer
Julia Jones was born in 1954 in the town of Woodbridge, which is located in the Kingdom of England. Apparently, she inherited the spirit of adventure from her father, who at the age of three bought a yacht for her. Once the ship belonged to a famous writer at that time, which became a source of lifelong inspiration for the creation of ever new books.
Julia's father was the owner of a bookstore in the town of Ingateston, in the county of Essex, which only strengthened the desire of the writer to learn a literary adventure.
Julia Jones decided to finally become a writer while working on her dissertation at the institute back in 2006.
Modernity
Despite her family, Julia Jones, whose books are hard to find in stores, continues to write. In 2013, she received a prestigious award in the field of literature.
Digital libraries also include author Julia Jones. Death Witness is the most popular series of books.
The writer has another book series, Strong Wind, which is a children's cycle of literary works that are written taking into account their age preferences.
The most famous book series that Julia Jones has released is The Sword of Shadows. It officially published 6 books, but the writer does not stop working on the works of this fascinating cycle.
I really want to believe that the crisis of the genre will pass, and modern authors will find some other topic other than the eternal movement of characters. After all, you can’t use the alternative story as a universal idea, even in the detectives the main composition changes, but in fantasy the enviable constancy of the characters who do not want to imitate. For this reason, many readers spend a lot of time not with their favorite books, but with computer characters in games and alternative realities, which are often better developed. If years are spent on games in development, would it not be better to hold the book before the release and try to check the hero’s behavior for consistency and authenticity?
Alas, now there are no writers or writers who can replace Jones, Christy, Doyle, who have entered themselves in the history of world literature. The books of these prose writers will remain in private libraries of more than one generation, and not semi-mystical works like Twilight, where vampires are almost inferior to people. So, the simple conclusion suggests itself that both vampires and people are equally evil, and many will not like this comparison. It seems that soon the perception of literature will change, and worthy followers will be added to the talent of Julia Jones.
