Sparkly vampires are not the worst feature of Twilight.

Anyway, no affection for or knowledge of Twilight is required to enjoy Luminosity. Although if sparkly vampires really piss you off, then perhaps you won't like it; I'm canon-compliant in the worldbuilding department up to and including sparkles.

Out of curiosity... what is? I personally found canon!Edward just incredibly boring given that I am used to Spike and Wolverine (the latter being closer to a conventional vampire than Edward is). But I don't recall much else and there wasn't anything I found annoying in Luminosity - you no doubt filtered those features out for us.

As stated here, I think the flaw is misplaced emphasis. There's nothing missing, and nothing I find truly extraneous for the story Meyer chose to tell - she just lingers over weaker portions.
