My daughter loves them, and I'm supposed to think the movie trailer is awesome. Looks like a dystopic Goblet of Fire. I'm glad she's old enough to go by herself.
I'm waiting to find some well written YA, or at least YA fantasy. I've now gone to book signings of three authors she's fond of. These people come across as charming and literate, both about their field and about literature in general and the wider world. Then, you crack open their books and half of it is eye-rolling. If you took all the eye-rolling out of the Twilight series, you'd have a single novella.
