DID NOT FINISH: 10%

Boring. Repetitive. Gives Edward’s perspective but doesn’t add anything.

Tenía mis dudas sobre leer o no este libro pero al final decidí aventarme a leerlo y no me decepcionó.
Admito que hubo partes tan aburridas y monótonas y escenas que ya me las sabía porque obviamente había leído crepúsculo. Las partes que me llamaron la atención fueron las de los momentos que no salieron en Crepúsculo, siempre quise saber cómo llegaron hasta Bella y que gran situación esa, también ame sentirme un poco como Edward leyendo mentes ya que el lo explicaba, fue genial y por eso valió la pena este libro. Unio las partes que faltaban de crepúsculo.
Me encantaría hiciera de los demás libros con el punto de vista de Edward.

Well, I did it, I read Midnight Sun.

I think I can safely assume anyone who is considering reading this book is a Twilight fan of some kind, whether you hate or love that part of yourself, it's there. I would say there are people who would love to hate-read this but 758 pages?? yeah I don't think even hate reading is worth that level of commitment. But I'm gonna be real, if you like Twilight, you're probably going to love this. It took me almost 3 months to read this book and it now holds the title of the longest book I've ever read but even if I hate to admit it, it may honestly be one of my favourites from this year.

Discovering Edward is just an over-anxious teenager who doesn't know how to make good decisions when choosing how to use his extra special vampire powers will never stop amusing me. The Cullen Family content, the Charlie content and the Angela content we got in this? Immaculate. I have never loved the side characters of the Twilight Saga more.

Now in terms of quality, it's a hit or miss. You can really see that Stephenie Meyer's writing has evolved since the original saga but I also can't claim that 758 pages is a great example of pacing. She captured Edward's character wonderfully in this book but in his case, that meant capturing every single overthought detail that crossed his anxious brain.

I'm gonna sit here and tell everyone to read this, no matter how much I enjoyed the experience. It's not for everyone but if, like me, you have a craving that you just can't seem to suppress for more Twilight content, this book will give you plenty. Just maybe don't set yourself for reading this one fast, 45-page chapters don't allow for that.

I read this when it came out earlier this year and honestly Edward is not interesting enough to have this long of a book.

Este libro tan esperado no defrauda, pero si alguien esperaba una historia nueva o diferente de Crepúsculo, aquí no la encontrará. Es lo mismo que leímos en el primer libro pero desde el punto de vista de Edward. A mí me ha gustado, ha sido interesante adentrarse en la mente de él y saber, por fin, lo que piensa en cada momento. Incluso en el propio libro, Edward se da cuenta de que Bella no tiene claro sus sentimientos, que es lo mismo que todos los lectores sentimos con la primera entrega de esta saga por lo que este libro es una buena manera de disipar las dudas en ese aspecto. Otra cosa que me ha gustado mucho de esta novela es que a través de los ojos de Edward el lector descubre mucho mas sobre Bella, cosas que en la historia contada por ella se escapan y sirve para crear un personaje más completo y complejo de lo que inicialmente se piensa. El libro está mucho mejor escrito que los primeros, algo también a valorar. En general, he disfrutado esta novela, es lo que esperaba y me ha gustado mucho.
