Even though I’ve read Twilight and knew what was going to happen, this was enough of a new book that I thoroughly enjoyed all 817 pages. You do get stuck in Edward's head a lot which made me flip back to see if this was something that was actually happening or just in his thoughts or Alice’s predictions. But being able to read this story from Edward’s POV was very entertaining and I loved it.

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.

Overall, I had mixed feelings of this book. It was definitely interesting to see Edward’s perspective and to be able to get more insight into the other character’s perspectives since he can read their minds. I do think that there were quite a few areas that dragged on way too long, especially Edward’s mixed feelings toward Bella. I think if you go into the book, not taking it too seriously, it’s enjoyable and almost nostalgic if you grew up with Twilight.

Loved how this book is clearly made for Stephanie’s grown up fans and how it fills in some of the plot questions from the first movie. I loved Edwards perspective almost made me reread the entire series

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.
