scrump 's review for:
Midnight Sun
by Stephenie Meyer
This is just what I needed after my Twilight reread. I’ve always been disinterested in Midnight Sun because why would I want to read the same story from the pov of the person I’m supposed to be yearning after. I want to be wooed by him, not Bella. But he wooed me even more through this book than Twilight (3 stars, not well written sawry. It just doesn’t make sense why or how fast they fall in love). I also found that I was missing Edward’s yearning in New Moon. The pain and tension and desire was missing and I desperately wanted his pov. Then I realized Midnight Sun might be able to fill that void, and fill that void it did. I love angst!! And I loved getting new sides of characters I didn’t know I wanted to learn more about. New info, relationship dynamics, and scenes added to the canon, I love it.
It did get redundant at a certain point which brought it down to a four for me, but Stephenie quickly recovered (I LOVED getting a 2020 version of her writing, especially after my reread; her writing has greatly improved), and ultimately I still adored(!) this book and think I will always cap off my series rereads with it. It’s a great bookend to the main saga.
So overall, 4.5/5 stars is more accurate.
