      They’re easy reads. Meyer had some interesting ideas and inspirations to write a story, but the depth and quality isn’t quite there. She’s even commented that looking back at the earlier books made her cringe. The other place she suffered is that when publishers got their hands on the first book, she explained she just wanted one follow up book, but they talked her into stretching the story into 4 because they felt it was going to be a hit.

      It’s an easy comfort read that doesn’t ask you to look for deeper meanings in the story, it’s all right there for you.

      It’s like 5% actually interesting fantasy world building and 95% shitty romance.

      I actually enjoyed that 5% but not enough to read or watch the other 95% again.
