It's here! Number one bestselling author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to the world of Twilight with this highly-anticipated companion; the iconic love story of Bella and Edward told from the vampire's point of view.
When Edward Cullen and Bella Swan met in Twilight, an iconic love story was born. But until now, fans have heard only Bella's side of the story. At last, readers can experience Edward's version in the long-awaited companion novel, Midnight Sun.
This unforgettable tale as told through Edward's eyes takes on a new and decidedly dark twist. Meeting Bella is both the most unnerving and intriguing event he has experienced in all his years as a vampire. As we learn more fascinating details about Edward's past and the complexity of his inner thoughts, we understand why this is the defining struggle of his life. How can he justify following his heart if it means leading Bella into danger?
In Midnight Sun, Stephenie Meyer transports us back to a world that has captivated millions of readers and brings us an epic novel about the profound pleasures and devastating consequences of immortal love.
This was honestly enjoyable, and I’m saying that as someone who used to be an ardent Twilight-hater. I would spend my teenage years on the TwilightSucks forums, critiquing the writing and joking about the characters. So while I did rate the entire series one star, this was an oddly nostalgic read for me.
The story is the same, but Edward’s mind reading gives additional insight into every character’s motivation. I feel like I enjoyed the writing style more in this one, but it’s kind of hard to compare with the audiobook at x2.5 speed. (Also it’s been 15 years…) Charlie is still my only favourite and I still think the romance is garbage. You should read it.
