The reception of Meyer and her novels has been mixed. "Entertainment Weekly" has stated that Meyer is "the world's most popular vampire novelist since Anne Rice", while "The Guardian" described her as an "imaginative storyteller, a prolific author and a newly powerful figure in the publishing market." Wayne Janes of the "Toronto Sun" agreed, saying "Meyer's success points up another trend—the virtual domination of the best-seller lists the last few years by what would normally be classified as young adult fiction," and noted, "In the absence of a new Harry Potter adventure, teens, fantasy enthusiasts and women (sales are mostly to females) who swoon at the idea of a virginal James Dean-ish vampire made Meyer the go-to gal for chaste love." Tymon Smith of "The Times" has described her as the "superstar of young adult fiction".
