Midnight Sun

Midnight Sun 
By Stephanie Meyer
Little, Brown and Company, 2020. 662 pages. Young Adult

When Bella met Edward, her world was set on a path where everything changed in less than a moment. We followed Bella’s thoughts and feelings in Twilight, but what was going on behind Edward’s eyes? The long-awaited Midnight Sun shows their iconic origin story from Edward’s much darker perspective. Edward’s inner struggle is brought to light as he wrestles with what he believes is right and what he discovers he must have.

While mirroring the events of Twilight, Midnight Sun also illuminates the mystery of many behind-the-scene moments and character backstories only mentioned in the series. Delving into the depths of Edward’s mind and discovering how close every encounter came to ruin was definitely worth the all-nighter. Whether read alone or along with the series, this is a fascinating and engaging companion to the classic romance that rewrote a genre.

This is definitely a must read for Twilight fans, and worth reading for those that read Twilight but don’t necessarily identify as a ‘fan’ of the series. I wouldn’t call myself a Twilight fan, but this was enjoyable enough that I re-read all the other books. I particularly enjoyed the depth involved in Edward’s relationships with his family that are missing from Twilight. And honestly there are multiple plot points that make more sense from Edward’s perspective. I would recommend for anyone that has read Twilight, or those looking for a teen paranormal romance.
