My Thoughts

I’m a huge TWILIGHT fan so when I heard Meyer was releasing a gender-bent version for the 10th anniversary, I was cautiously optimistic. It was really trippy, but I liked the ending and thought it was interesting. I had fun with the changes, but I like the original better.

Meyer said she wrote LIFE AND DEATH because of the criticism she had received about TWILIGHT not working had the roles been reversed (i.e., male human / female vampire). After reading LIFE AND DEATH, I kind think the criticism is valid. It just felt too weird. Had I not read TWILIGHT first, maybe I would’ve thought differently.
