bro, my boy edward is literally a thought daughter.
Maybe if I could be unconscious, if I could dream, I could live for a few hours in a world where she and I could be together. She dreamed of me. I wanted to dream of her.

Was decent but also draaaaged in a lot of places, hearing others minds was cool however, getting to know more about the cullens/ Edward’s life was good too.
But Jesus this dude is fucking sad

Edward seemed so predator-esque, It was grody and left a bad taste in my mouth and about the entire twilight series.
I fucking loved this book.
Edward is such a wonderful narrator, and his insight to the vampire world, his experiences and his relationship with his family provide such a better - more fuller - picture. Arguably he is much better to narrate this story than Bella is, and I'd die to read the other books in his point of view too.
I learned so much. It was so fucking cool.

I'm really glad I decided to get this despite my fear that I've grown too old to like angsty teen stuff. Well, I have to say this isn't like twilight. I like it way more via Edward's lense. I see people say it's too big and boring, but I read this in like three days while also working two jobs so I don't know what they're talking about. I'm not really into het romance anymore (and haven't been in quite a long time now), so, weird as it may seem, it isn't the romance that makes this book appealing to me, but the ambience. The atmosphere. The angst. I know a lot of people consider Stephenie Meyer a bad author, but even then you have to admit she got this one right. Otherwise people wouldn't still be talking about twilight. Also, what people fail to see is that this is fiction. Meyer herself has said a lovestory in a book is much more interesting and gripping simply because of this: it's not real. There are no vampires or werewolves in real life. There's no romance like this in real life. And there shouldn't be! There's something sick about Bella and Edward's love, and that's what made it all the more interesting to read about. I'm not reading this like an idealised version of love and wallowing in self pity cause I don't have a stalkery vampire boyfriend.
In any case, this book has a specific target audience, and I think people browsing reviews probably know where they stand already. For me, it's been a solid decade since I read the first book, and more than 5 years since I last read any of the books in the series, yet the moment I saw the listing for Midnight Sun on Book Depository I immediately put it on my wishlist. I even forket over the 5 or so extra euros to get the hardcover version.
So, is this perfect? Well, writing-style wise, it isn't. Pace-wise, it isn't. But in some other ways that matter, it is.
