I really love when books manage to tie in "natural feeling" references to world building cultures such as their specific classics or mythology. Like, yes please give me a glimpse into a religion or history in this world!

Admittedly, at times I've been a bit disappointed when they feel like parodies of "real" literature (instead of inspired by) when the tone isn't meant to be funny.

I admittedly poke fun at Twilight, but people can enjoy whatever they want unironically or ironically.

I guess when I do get frustrated by its popularity, it's more on the wave of similar vampire portrayals, definitely not to my taste, that seemed to suffocate the market for a while. Or anytime you mentioned vampires, some people assumed you meant you were a Twilight fan.
