I guess someone other than Alicorn should also answer this.
It’s competently written and pretty enjoyable, but not as much as Methods of Rationality.
I haven’t read so much as a word from the novels nor watched so much as a trailer from any of the movies, and had successfully avoided learning anything about the contents except the names of the two protagonists and that it’s a paranormal romance with sparkling vampires and werewolves (I despise paranormal romances and vampire fiction in general). I had no trouble at all following along, and the world managed to not come across as exceptionally stupid, contrary to the very vague second hand impressions I had, despite apparently canon compliant world building.
It starts a bit slow but is pretty engaging despite the long introspective monologues, which must be difficult to pull off. It’s much more down to earth than Methods of Rationality, nowhere near as crazy, doesn’t contain as much humor and is much more even in tone.
