How is the young adult novel scene now in 2025?
Non existent it seems. Teens nowadays just read fanfiction.

>>24812355Worm is KINO.. if you ignore the forced race mixing.
>>24811787Most contemporary lit is young adult, it just isn't marketed that way anymore. Sarah J Maas used to be marketed as a YA author, but publishers found out they could make more money by scrapping the label and they have.
Why do you read books written for children?

>>24811787Didn't it go full woke?I remember someone getting canceled (like, literally, the novel was canceled) for writing black characters while not being black herself. The author made an apology letter and kow towed. Someone "graded" her apology letter (for example when she wrote "I'm sorry for causing grief" was corrected by the grader as "I'm sorry for being ignorant and for causing righteous grief by my stupid acts". And the grader was praised for her act of charity and for her warmth showed to the canceled author.
