Review: Midnight Sun

 


Title: Midnight Sun

Series: Twilight saga

Author: Stephanie Meyer

Release Date: Aug 3, 2020



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?



Ah the nostalgia. I have been waiting to read this book for months, years, since Twilight was released and the few chapters were released. I was disappointed when it wouldn't happen. But so glad it finally did. 

Midnight Sun follows Twilight but in Edwards POV. Everything from Edward's first incounter with Bella, to the night of prom and everything in between, we finally see from Edward's eyes, and hear his thoughts and his feelings towards everything that happens. All his struggles, and anguish, his attempts to understand his feelings and what is happening. And him coming to terms with his struggles in life, and trying to decide if he should kill Bella or keep her out of harms way and what would be most beneficial for him, and his family. 

This book followed Edwards inner turmoil and inner thoughts about all the events that transpire once Bella first steps foot into the cafeteria that first day of school. It was nostalgic to be back in the world of Twilight, and expierencing it all over again. And while the story isn't perfect by any means, it was still a good read, bringing back fond memories of reading Twilight for the first time. It was a fun, simple read and perfect read for October that I enjoyed. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.
