3.0

I think for the first half of the novel, I really enjoyed the swapped gender and it felt like a dynamic careful shift, but as the pace picked up, it got sort of more formulaic and unbelievable (well…more unbelievable). I thought that the end where
they let the venom run its course was a really interesting way to contain the story and rule out sequels. It did make it slightly more melancholic though in terms of the impact on Charlie and Renee. I maybe would have rather seen that play out as an alternative end to the original Twilight.
 

It’s still a really flawed mythology, but I really love that world and the possibilities of the characters. I seriously hope there are more novels to follow (but no more Midnight Sun, if’n ya please)
