Not a lot can be said about the young adult fantasy market anymore, not since Twilight came along and ripped away most of its goodwill. Now any new entrant is seen as a blatant rip-off, or dirty cash-in on the run-away success that franchise had. In some cases, those suggesting that would be 100% right, probably in most cases come to think of it, but what’s becoming standard is to cast every last one away before they’re given a fair shot. Who’s to say that the next boy meets girl saga isn’t going to turn into something else entirely? Beautiful Creatures owes a lot of the attention it’s getting to these kinds of associations, but whether or not it deserves to be seen as more than it seems, is relative.
