My Thoughts

I’ve been waiting to finish Edward’s version of events for 12 years. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was worried I was going to be let down. First, I wondered if Meyer was going to let the movies influence her at all. Second, I wondered if she’d let the fans influence her. And, finally, 12 years changes you. Whether she let the movies or the fans influence her, time certainly had in some way.

However, I needn’t have worried. MIDNIGHT SUN was everything I wanted it to be. It felt like it did the first time I read TWILIGHT, just from a different perspective, a more knowledgeable perspective of the paranormal. Being in Edward’s head was truly enlightening. Not only did I learn more about him and his motives (it shed so much light on NEW MOON and why he left), but I learned more about the Cullens and the vampiric world too. I also learned more about the students around Bella, Jacob, Charlie and Renée, and James and his coven which I was looking forward to almost the most.

It was an absolute treat to discover these new truths and to be in Bella and Edward’s world again for the first time. I’m so happy that Meyer decided to finish MIDNIGHT SUN and share it with her fans.
