Personally, having the opportunity to revisit an old fandom is just what fans need for a reprieve. Fast forward 10+ years and the release of Midnight Sun comes in the middle of a global pandemic.
I still remember like it was yesterday when the first part of Midnight Sun was leaked around the world and I refused to read it then and was glad to see it retracted from publication. In Midnight Sun, we learn the fascinating details of Edward’s experience as a vampire starting from his first meeting with Bella (which was unnerving yet intriguing).Īlthough I was a devoted Twilight Saga fan back in its hey-day, I have since moved on from reading paranormal romance, so when I heard this book was to be released this year, I was not only keen to step back into an old fandom but I was keen to see whether Stephenie Meyer had changed as a writer given the 10 year gap between Breaking Dawn and Midnight Sun. We learn from Bella in Twilight that yes Edward was a vampire and part of him thirsted for her blood, but just how big, she didn’t know, although what she was sure of was her unconditional and irrevocable love for him. But it has taken over a decade for fans to learn Edward’s version of events in this newly released Midnight Sun. This unforgettable tale, now told through Edward’s eyes, takes on a new and decidedly dark twist. Over a decade ago, Stephenie Meyer took the world by storm when she told the iconic love story of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan through Bella’s eyes in the Twilight Saga.
You have read Bella’s story through in Twilight, ow it’s Edward’s turn. “Love does not always come in convenient packages…”
