My one dissatisfaction with that series is from everything I've read about it, it's exceptionally regressive and misogynistic. I compare it to fun, utterly fluffy, and generally feminist-positive YA fiction like Mercedes Lackey's Arrows of the Queen trilogy or Tamora Pierce's Lioness or Immortals series and the fact that Twilight and its sequels are significantly more popular than those books were makes me very sad indeed. I'd vastly rather see young people reading works of authors like Diane Duane, Garth Nix, Mercedes Lackey, or Tamora Pierce than work by anyone at all like Stephenie Meyer.
