Yes, I feel the same way. I did enjoy Holly Black's The White Cat, but I've been avoiding YA lately because of the Twilight influence and the vampire explosion. I went down the YA aisle at Powell's the other night and was singularly unimpressed.
Of course I was also disturbed that they had a display of books that said "Tired of the romantic YA fiction? Try these! YA fiction for boys!"
