A review by idyllisera
Biss zur Mitternachtssonne by Stephenie Meyer

challenging emotional medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

I made it!!!!!!
I went into this expecting nothing of Edward and he was even worse.
the only thing going for him was that he knew he's an asshole.

plus points:
- Emmett and Charlie and Rosalie are the only sane people, I love them
- Jacob is NORMAL here
- Bella has A PERSONALITY (and she is kinda cool ngl)

minus points:
- Eddie is absolutely terrible, Jesus fucking Christ
- Stephanie Meyer's purity culture upbringing is strong with this one
- I had to roll my eyes SO. MANY. TIMES. 

all in all: I am so glad that I'm done. this was exhausting.

also: this fucking book has almost 900 pages. AND IT ONLY COVERS THE FIRST BOOK. HOW. I was so disappointed when I found out. I thought I could read the whole series from Eddie's perspective. I was ROBBED.

idk what to rate this. It has been somewhat entertaining, but it's also so bad. I guess I'm also a bit sentimental, because I did like the original series (I am aware they're also bad, but when I was 14 I liked it. sue me) so we're going with 2.5?
