collbrarian 's review for:
Midnight Sun
by Stephenie Meyer
2025 review: 5 stars
Re-reading this because I am about to go on my honeymoon in the Pacific Northwest, and I am feeling all kinds of Twilight nostalgia because of it. I liked this book even more the second time. Is there tons of fan service here? Oh YES there is! But I love it and I don’t care because somehow as soon as I read the first page, I was transported back in time to high school aged me discovering this series for the first time. Edward is such a melodramatic mess and that it is genuinely funny.
2021 review: 4 stars
Edward's POV is better than Bella's. I said what I said. In seriousness, I see where Meyer tried to respond to some criticism in the areas where she could (like fleshing out Bella a bit more through interactions that Edward observes), and that makes me like her a bit more; perhaps it wasn't all criticism response and some was how she saw things play out in her own mind but it didn't translate well in the first novel. I digress. Seeing more of what makes the Cullens tick was great, and I love Alice even more. It's not ground-breaking literature, but such a good re-telling of a book that changed so much of the YA landscape.
