My Thoughts

THE BEAR AND THE NIGHTINGALE was awesome. I loved the dichotomy of the magic and fairy tales with the religion. I loved the setting in medieval Russia and all the Russian words and names (it brought me back to my Russian-learning days in high school). I loved Vasya. She’s a fantastic heroine and someone worth rooting for. I hope we see more of Morozko in the sequels.

My Thoughts

I’ve been waiting 12 years to read MIDNIGHT SUN! It was everything I wanted it to be. Being in Edward’s head was truly enlightening. I loved learning more about him and the Cullens, the vampiric world, the Forks humans, Jacob, Charlie and Renée, and James’ coven (Victoria and Laurent). I also loved knowing all the things Edward said to Bella that she couldn’t hear and knowing his reasons behind all his decisions and actions. It shed so much light on NEW MOON and why he left. I especially loved being in Bella and Edward’s world again for the first time!
