I saw a forum post here that I think basically sums up my major issue with this; for a super cool and non-human protagonist, the narration just sounds like a bitter middle aged woman who lowkey hates her job (paraphrasing).

Saw a very cool post from Heather Colley on Substack about how Edward Cullen and Heathcliff are the same archetype of a Byronic hero - emotionally intense, obsessive, socially isolated, fixated on their love interest, dangerous.
I just love when people make connections between classics and modern YA romances! It helps provide respect to a genre and age category that people like to put down.
