Book Review, Midnight Sun (Twilight series) by Stephenie Meyer

 

Midnight Sun (Twilight series) 

By Stephenie Meyer 

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?

In Midnight Sun, Stephenie Meyer transports us back to a world that has captivated millions of readers and brings us an epic novel about the profound pleasures and devastating consequences of immortal love.

Yes, I can hear you all groaning now, but it had to be done. I have to admit this is the only series where I watched the films first and then read the books, and it is also the only series where I thought the films were better. But, I became caught up in all the buzz about this book and I thought, oh why not? And as I was walking around Tesco, with a mask firmly over my nose and mouth I spotted the hardback version on the shelves, and so yes, it also ended up in the basket along with the garlic bread! Actually, this book was really rather good, and it was really interesting to read the story from Edward's perspective. Was it worth the 12 year wait? I would say yes it was for Stephenie Meyer's writing has really matured, if you know what I mean? If you enjoyed Twilight the first time around, I think you will adore this book.

I picked my copy up from Tesco, but you can grab your copy on Amazon.
