A really fun read to get back into the world of twilight. Edward can be eyeroll inducing, but he has redeeming moments. One of the highlights is getting more insight into the Cullen family history and abilities.

This book is great for a laugh, if you read it with the right attitude (that attitude being making fun of hundred year old loser edward cullen). This is truly psychopathic shit. Not only do we get a detailed recap of all the psychopathic behavior from the original books, we also get insight into Edward’s misogynistic and murderous thoughts. Like bro spent half of his time planning murders and the other half barely restraining himself from committing them. Also this book just solidified for me the fact that edward would’ve never fallen for Bella if he could hear her thoughts. Her internal monologue is everything he despises about anyone else’s thoughts. I also feel like it can’t be stressed enough that he literally stalks her!!!!! He breaks into her room while she’s sleeping and justifies it by killing a spider??? my guy get it together. And while we’re here, i just want to say that i have a hate-based parasocial relationship with stephenie meyer for how dirty she did rosalie. i will never forgive the misogyny that rosalie has been built around. when she could’ve been such an incredible character!!! this book is unhinged in the worst way imaginable. (emmett sweetheart this has nothing to do with you, you’re lovely)

I actually had so much fun with this lol. I found it loads more entertaining than the actual original novels. I doubt this was the intention of Meyers, but this made Edward even more deranged, weird, creepy, which as a result makes him actually more interesting than he ever was before. It’s very fun, especially if you don’t take it seriously and are coming from a place of love-hate for the series.

boatjo's review against another edition

This just sucked so bad. I tried to sit down with it several times and couldn’t get past a few pages at a time. It’s SO repetitive, and offers almost nothing to the original story except to reiterate how much Edward hates himself. All around not enjoyable to read.
