-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.

Edward Cullen I hate being in your head but I'd be a liar if I said this stupid book didn't take me on a roller coaster ride. I laughed, I screamed, I wished and prayed for your spontaneous combustion despite knowing it was a futile hope. This book is a MUST for anyone who read the original series. Sure, it might make you hate The Cullens more, or hate Edward more, or, well... hate any of the characters more (except Jacob—that's one character that was spared; so three cheers for you baby Jake fans) but you'll come out the other side a changed person. Definitely a darker read than Twilight or any of the follow-up books in the series, but trust me, you'll still laugh at the amount of lampshading and retconning Stephenie Meyer does. It's worth it alone to read
the car chase scene
so I'd say read it if just to read the chapter titled 'Race'. You can thank me later.

The worst book I've ever read. I have NEVER had such a hard time finishing a book, I seriously considered DNFing this book many times and if I would've done that it would've been my first DNFed book. It is DENSE and boring beyond belief.  I thought that this book might redeem Edward at least a little bit BUT IT DID THE OPPOSITE 💀! Before this book I thought that maybe Edward wasn't a pedophile and it was just grossly bad writing but I STAND CORRECTED. There is no doubt in my mind now that Edward is a creepy old man who lusts for teenage girls.
