Midnight Sun (Booktober)

 

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb ..."

 
 
 
More than a decade ago, we met Bella and Edward, and saw the story of a human teenager and vampire immortal fall in love through her eyes. Now, finally, Stephenie Meyer released the other side of the coin: the story told from Edward's point of view. Midnight Sun went through many ups and downs before it could arrive on our bookshelves, but now that it's here, of course it'll be divisive, because some people will love it, and some will say that it's just a rehash. But it's really not. Because we get to hear a whole lot more than just what happened in Twilight - we get to explore what it's like being Edward with his mind-reading ability. And we get to see the love story unfold again.
 
 
 
When Edward Cullen and Bella Swan met in Twilight, an iconic love story was born. But 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?

Tome Thursday: Midnight Sun


Hello everyone!

Well, after who knows how many years - 10? 12? 15? - it's FINALLY here.

Fans of the Twilight Saga have been practically BEGGING for this particular installment all that time, and the author finally decided this was the one open chapter from times past she wanted to close and put to rest.

I'm not going to lie, I was pretty stoked when news broke about the August release.

You can bet I grabbed this thing ASAP and read it through in two to three sittings.

Interestingly enough, while I thought it would take me a lot less, I needed to take my time with it to really enjoy it properly, which I did.

And before we dive straight in, let me just say, to all the haters out there: we all enjoy different things. If the boys can get a million installments of Fast and Furious, one more book for Twilight fans isn't going to break the world.

Midnight Sun is a worthy addition to any Twi-hard's shelf.
