The Twilight series was written for teen readers, and while it found significant fandom in the adult community–including, of course, the publication of Fifty Shades of Grey, a sexually-explicit fan fiction inspired by the series - the book provides ample space for the melodrama and romantic longings many teen readers enjoy (and may relate to). It’s allowed them to reconsider the power of the series, as well as its lasting effects on the YA industry as a whole. In recent years, especially as vampires have come back into style in YA, many readers are finding themselves revisiting Twilight. Likewise, Meyer has been an advocate for female-led stories, producing and funding the development of projects aimed at female audiences. Though there are valid criticisms to be made about the series, including its treatment of Native people and uncomfortably-close-to-abusive interactions between Bella and Edward, sexism certainly has aided in the dogging of a book that propelled YA publishing into yet another golden era - one which offered a stage for female characters and authors to find success, as well as helped create the financial stability to offer more space to mid-list YA books. /rebates/2fp2fMidnight-Sun2fStephenie-Meyer2f9780316707046&.com252fp252fMidnight-Sun252fStephenie-Meyer252f978031670704626afsrc3d126SID3d&idbooksamillion&nameBOOKSAMILLION.
