sirensongreads 's review for:
Midnight Sun
by Stephenie Meyer
Actual rating: 3.5/5
Okay, so to say I have conflicting thoughts over this book is an understatement of the year.
This book managed to make some of the original problems in Twilight SO much worse while also giving us some really fantastic new moments.
As a former Twihard, this book made me want to break out the soundtrack and relive them good ole teenage days. If you're ready for the angst-fueled nostalgia, this one definitely was worth it.
Things I hated:
-The STALKING
-The unnecessary girl hate
-Making Mike a creep with his thoughts
-The rushed romance
-The Hades/Persephone retcon (this isn't a spoiler, the cover is literally a pomegranate)
Things I loved:
-Emmitt is the og himbo and we stan
-Carlise is too pure for this series
-More time with the Cullens overall
-Jasper's powers are WAY cooler than we previously thought
Things I'm neutral on:
-Bella kind of got a personality....?
-Rosalie being jealous of Bella because Edward chose her (we already knew about this, but watching it play out sucked)
-Edward really thinking his diamond form was scary
-More Edward vigilante days
** If you are supporting Meyer, consider also donating to the Quileute tribe as they are trying to relocate to higher ground: mthg.org **
My more detailed spoiler-free review can be found here and was unnecessarily long reading vlog can be found here
------ ANNOUNCEMENT REACTION------
Foolish me had the AUDACITY to think I was over my Twilight phase, and yet here we are.
Time to go dust off all my Twilight merch and plan a reread.
