-i also liked this book in the series it was good i do wish i would've read this right before or after i read twilight but instead i read them in the order of there publication dates you still can read them based of the years they released i just personally would've found it better if i read midnight sun before or after i read twilight overall i did enjoy this book i loved how we finally got a look into Edwards pov i was happy that i got a understanding of his mind and how he thought and what he heard of others thoughts it made me feel a better understanding therefore i could enjoy his character allot i was always team Jacob but after these books it will always be team Edward for me i love this whole series i always watched the twilight series movies and enjoyed it but reading the books i enjoyed these characters more and now that the book series is over for me i honestly miss Edward and Bella like there real people overall i rated this book five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️-

Reading about how Jasper handled James absolutely delighted me. Not only are his talents much more complex and powerful than Bella had ever known (cloaking himself in “boredom” as a disguise until the final moment) (cool as fuck), he was just so necessary for Edward’s sanity as they drove to the ballet studio. The way he forced calm on Edward via gentle touch to the back of the neck felt so caring and brotherly to me. So special. Jasper’s my new favourite, so underrated. Really cool to hear Alice’s planning too, how she thinks ahead and rearranges everything perfectly in her mind and props before it takes place. I also loved hearing right from the source how Edward’s life changed and how he felt happiness for the first time.

Much more interesting than twilight. Now I wish the whole series had been in Edward’s POV.

It's a very good book. It gives you a little more insight into Edwards thoughts and feelings toward Bella. 
The plot is (obviously) very similar to Twilight which takes away some of the suspense.

Edward is so boring and angsty, at first it was great because it was a much darker read than Twilight, but it got old very quickly. It was a very slow read up until the final few chapters, where a lot happens at once.

I have zero shame in saying that I’ve been a Twilight fan since day one. Although I don’t love Stephanie’s writing style, the story has its own magic that I’ve always loved. When the original series was first out, and this book was leaked and then all the drama about Stephanie not finishing it, I was so bummed. So when this was released, I was so excited. But honestly I think I could have done without it.

Edwards perspective just made the dynamic with him and Bella weird for me. And comparing this to more recent YA books over the last couple of years, it’s so obvious how screwed up their relationship is in versus when I read the original series so many years ago. With that said, overall, as such a big fan of the original series and the movies, this was a nice nostalgic read for me. And my favorite part was seeing Alice’s vision through Edward, I could honestly read a whole sub-series of just Alice, she was always my favorite character.
