Has it really? Do you have any reliable stats for this?

Ugh, though I wouldn't say "modern romance with (unusually attractive) mythological creatures" is any better or more creative than "medieval Europe with dragons" at this point. And "girl finds out from (unusually attractive) magic man that she has special powers that will let her save the world from (mystical threat) mundanes can't see" is growing as dead-horse-whipped as "boy receives (his father's) magical sword and has to go on a long journey to kill a bad guy to save the world", frankly.

Tor.com published a nice little editorial about how she's been employed to review just one sub-genre of SF&F, and she still has too many books in her schedule. The solution to "I'm bored with that" in the current renaissance is "well, don't read that."
