New Book: Life and Death
Looks like there's a new book out that needs to be added into this article. It's called Life and Death and it's a retelling of the first Twilight book with all the characters gender-swapped. You can find one of many articles on it here. Silver seren C 21:07, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Criticism by Stephen King
Is it appropriate to mention a criticism of an author by another author? If you think it's relevant, one should put it into another section and not among "reception" which shouldn't mean authors criticizing each other. --212.186.7.98 (talk) 10:01, 6 August 2018 (UTC)


 * So are you suggesting moving the Orson Scott Card comments out of the reception section and down to criticism, with the commentary from her other peers? —C.Fred (talk) 14:25, 6 August 2018 (UTC)


 * No, both Card and King should stand in another section, one could call it "criticism by other authors" or so. --212.186.7.98 (talk) 09:58, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Links in lede
I reverted right away because it looked like WP:SYNTH but I ultimately forgot to take into account that this is a WP:GA and the links were added to the lede, which does not require any citations because they're all treated amply well in the body. Thanks for bearing with my foul-up! Elizium23 (talk) 19:04, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

emphasis on romantic relationships criticized
, you have twice removed the part of the sentence in the lead that "feminists have questioned the emphasis Meyer puts on romantic relationships." Per WP:LEAD, this information does not have to be in-line cited in the lead. The information is supported by citations in the "Feminism" sub-section under "Views": "Meyer has been criticized by feminists who consider Meyer an antifeminist writer. They say that the series romanticizes a physically abusive relationship, pointing to red flags that include Bella's entire life revolving around Edward; never being in control of her own life; being absolutely dependent on Edward's ability to protect her life, her virginity, and her humanity; and the physical injuries Bella suffers from finally consummating her relationship with Edward." That sentence is amply supported by in-line citations on the page. I would like to return the information to the lead. Do you object? Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 15:41, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Rachel you are absolutely right that in the body of the article it is said that feminists critize Meyer's work. However, as far as I can tell, it is not said that Meyer is criticized by feminists for being romantic in general, but rather because Meyer "romanticizes a physically abusive relationship". I believe it is different and potentially original research to say that Meyer "is criticized for putting emphasis on romantic relationships" in general, when the body of the text explicitly says she is criticized for romanticizing physically abusive relationships in particular, rather than any kind of romantic relationship.James343e (talk) 22:50, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
 * okay, how about instead of "feminists have questioned the emphasis Meyer puts on traditional gender roles in her novels" we write: "feminists assert that the novel encourages traditional gender roles and that Bella and Edward's romance has all the signs of an abusive relationship"? Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 15:28, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm fine with that particular new wording that you propose. James343e (talk) 12:26, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi I think that Rachel is absolutely right, the changes should be made immediately for readers to enjoy this text.

Is the author Marisa Meyer her relative?
Could they both be writing sisters? 208.76.197.182 (talk) 03:59, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
