Read it in my early 20s, as a guy. So, not the target audience.
It wasn’t bad. To be honest, the secondary characters were so much more interesting. Edwards family in particular were often deeply written, compelling, and downright fucking cool sometimes. Edward is super brooding, Bella is a cardboard cut out designed to filled with the reader, and Jacob was honestly pretty compelling, but a little overly emotional. All in all, decent books. Like 7/10

I liked the individualized superpower aspect, I just wish there was more world building. I have definitely read worse books.
Right, the world building, or rather anticipation of it kept me going. One dude from civil war was interesting, her choice of baby names was… less so.
