I really thought it couldn’t get any better.. These books all mean so much to me. Nothing throws me in a different world quite like the story of Bella and Edward. This book is my new favorite. Seeing the classic through another point of view is crazy. So thankful to Stephenie for keeping it all going.

Evilteacher17

Beautiful end to the Twilight saga. What a beautiful way to take the reader back to the original story through the lense of Edward. Reading it was nostalgic but new at the same time. A must read for Twilight fans!

Summerskiess66

Better than Twilight. I’m not the biggest fan of the series, but I have to say I really liked reading from Edward’s point of view because it was more descriptive and it gave me a better view of his perspective. not my favorite book but I would read it again.

Out of the park. First, don’t read the one star reviews. They are just a bunch of girls not liking to read a book from the perspective of a man. Second, they all say that Edward is creepy and a stalker. Yet he literally wanting to break up with Bella in the the first twilight. In the last chapter of the first twilight she’s literally begging him not to go. Her heart rate is through the roof cause she thinks he’ll leave her. Third, I like Edward. He’s not creepy he just madly in love. And she’s madly in love with him. So how about all you girls go read fifty shades of grey (which is crap by the way, this is much better).

Zzzombiesss

Riveting. I was obsessed with the series when I was younger. Today, I am reliving this adolescence through Midnight Sun. Read the book in two days–magical and breathtaking. Edward’s narrative is compelling, couldn’t put the book down!

Mistyfox🦊😻

Just no. Twilight was just a very mediocre series. But this book is really terrible. Who wants to read about a guy stalking a girl at night? Yes, Bella is really annoying but she didn’t deserve that! I am also so team Jacob even tho he was cringe at times. Instead of making a book about Edward’s pov they should have made one about Jacob’s. It probably wouldn’t be much better but still.

Howdy kiddo

For the good of Team Jake. I would die if you’d could make a book from Jacobs POV Ps. This book was far more interesting

Dawiggn

Take me Back. Omg love so much!! Ugh I want to read more now. This just took me back to high school, it’s 10 years later and I love it just as much!

Sorceress Sarah

Better Than Ever. I much prefer the Twilight story through Edward’s perspective!

Breezy Slide

Midnight Sun is great. Great, that is the word I would use for Midnight Sun. It wasn’t good, it was great. I loved learning all of the details and kinda ‘behind the scenes’ actions made by Edward. I did get a bit confused with ‘the knot’, but I don’t mind. However, some people, and I think I agree with these people, think Edward was a creepy guy. I mean, we kinda just discovered that he followed Bella around all the time, even when she was sleeping. Does this vampire give no privacy? I would love to know Edward’s perspective in the other books, like when him and Jacob are talking. Anyway, book was a 5/5.

Gingin7794

For my sanity. Pleaseeeeeeeeee continue the story as a now mom of three kids and a huge fan I needed this and it’s helped through the COVID but please reconsider making a sequel of Edward AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG !!! 100 stars hands down

UpsetL

Twilight forever 💜. This book was amazing. In high school I was obsessed. I read all the books, watched all the movies. To be able to read it again but backwards through Edwards eyes was just amazing to watch how he fell for Bella as well, and all the inside vamp stuff that we missed. Please please do the rest in his perspective. Or another twilight book in some way. Any who. Great read. Greatest forbidden love story ever.

Tracyofwine

Worth the wait. Loved it. Would really like each book like this. And a book about all the cullens back stories

Makogurl

Creepy not romantic. I’ll admit that Twilight was my guilty pleasure in high school and the movies still are. However this book, with Edward’s point of view, is beyond creepy. He is possessive and a stalker. It is not romantic. Girls should not want boys to feel this way about them. Couldn’t even finish it.

Reader😁

❤️❤️❤️. It was sooooo good, 5 stars

Lizzardbean

Amazing insight. I loved that this was twilight from Edward’s perspective you get so much insight into his thoughts AND others’ I love how much you get from him, essentially the entire clan, Jessica, Mike, and even Jacob. So much more insight to the Quileute’s and the treaty and just knowing what Edward is thinking is fabulous. It is a but repetitive but it’s so worth it to fill out the characters more ESPECIALLY Rosalie, her behavior and attitude makes MUCH more sense after reading this. I feel like it’s essential to understanding the characters fully. It was amazing. (It’s only a 4 because of the unnecessary repetition and bit of filler that’s in the book but the positives outweigh that in my opinion)

Jessica.97

Love. Rediscovering twilight years later and this book was just what I needed.

Blkflmango

You. Creepy.

LILTLBIT

Not Worth The Time. This could have been summarized in one paragraph. It’s very boring and the longevity of it makes it worse. For such a skilled author I felt like she was getting back at EL James for stealing her characters’ likenesses. Now I’m definitely Team Jacob because Edward is an annoying wuss!!!

Bellefanmdous

I love edward. I love edward

AmyHobbs

The background on the Cullens was engrossing. I flew through this 1,000 page viewpoint of Edward, but not because of his inner-battling monologue. The stories and details about the Cullen family really fleshed out their characters in a way I hadn’t read them before and it was completely enthralling. I was so impressed by how Jasper was written specifically, but overall learning how they interacted with one another really filled in some holes in the lore I thought previously existed. Or Meyers noticed them and filled them in, whichever, it was a treat to read. There are a hundred little details I loved, like having a peak into what Jacob’s thoughts sound like to Edward, it was all very special. I had a moment at the end of the book that I got emotional because I love Meyers ability to convey emotion and I hope we are gifted with more future work from her.

Cgerlach143

Loved this book!. I absolutely loved the Twilight Saga and this book is no exception. I read the other books before the movies came out and I do feel like the movies kind of ruined this book for me, I still loved this book but couldn’t stop thinking of the horrible acting in the movies.

SuperDuperTwi-hard

Great book. I love this book It surprised me so much that Edward liked her way before their relationship started and I like how we can now hear the minds of everyone in the twi-verse as I like to call it

B.tobes

Edward’s brooding and behavior is upsetting at times.. I loved being able to see the story from his perspective. It gave such a stronger insight into the vampire world and the specifics of powers. It was really cool to get into his mind. I especially enjoyed the race chapter. Just getting an understanding for how the Cullens navigate these things is so interesting. However, I couldn’t stand his attitude at times. I can empathize but it’s like dude you’re consciously being depressing about a situation you chose, and he is consciously making decisions when interacting with Bella that he knows are manipulative. It’s just very ego-heavy in those moments, but overall just as exciting and immersive as the original series.

Uhaw394

Edward, sweetie, you’re a bit dramatic but so am i. This was truly a very enjoyable read. I can’t remember the last time I got this excited to sit down and devote any length of time, at minimum 3 hours, to any single story. In a very cliched way, I couldn’t really put it down once I picked it up. I rather preferred Edward’s perspective. Though he can be very redundant and annoying in his almost always conflicted nature, you have to admit knowing what the characters around you are thinking was so so cool. Some parts were drawn out and might’ve sufficed better with shorter summaries (the race, hospital days immediately after the accident) but nonetheless the story had me captivated nearly the whole time. I just kept picturing emo Robert Pattinson in my head whenever Edward doubted his role in the relationship and I’ll admit at times i had to laugh but it’s what makes his character cute and worth reading about. Stephenie please, i beg you, please follow this up and at least give us New Moon in his perspective. You already put out a conversation he had with Rosalie prior to deciding to die, why not finish it? Please give us the whole story or a full story in Jacob’s perspective. Maybe Carlisle? Rosalie? Girl, give us something please..😫

Reene❤

True Fan. It’s everything I was expecting and more! I hope there is more to come!

Royal-princess

Love his POV. Loved it ❤️

Africakeni😜

Just what we needed. Loved it 💕

BakedPotatoEliza

Bittersweet. Absolutely loved every word and the vampire thoughtfulness was a welcome change and good touch to the story that is Twilight, knowing Edward’s thoughts alongside of what we already know with Bella’s, it’s almost like a completely different story, but at the same time it’s still the Twilight we know and love. Will read again, and again. And probably again, along side the original Twilight.

KATZERZ !!

THE BEGINNING. Ok in the beginning home bro was like mega deppresso kinda and he’s like “N-no! I can’t kill her! She’s to…F-fragile! Her skin is transparent! I…..N-need to protect her!!” And he was having sim scrumptious fantasies about eating her i wanted it in full detail but NO JE HAD TO RESIST. Anyways the start is kinda slow and he’s kinda cringey with the whole see through skin thing but then it gets better when she finds out. Also I just want to point out when they are in the forest and Bella is blushing and staring at him he’s just like “If there is a square area of 25 meters, and there are around 20 bugs in this one section, how many bugs are in the whole forest? 5,936!”

Mbsamson

take out books. I think this book is so mean and is so fun to read I pea in bottles for 3 weeks i think the president wrote this book about his girlfriend boobey boo eyes

VtHAD

Better than I expected. Another Twilight addition, even knowing the storyline, is awesome. Dipping into Edwards character really changes the memory of the first book, making it even better! Which I didn’t think was possible. I guess now, the wait/hope, will be for the next books with his POV to be written and enjoyed. I imagine more Twilight book reading and movie watching will be taking place to reexamine the actors portrayed of Edward with this new information. It is a real treat to get to know the family from Edwards perspective and more scenes of their lives and experiences and abilities, it brings more appreciation for their actions in the series, the deeper emotional connection that ties the family together. Thank you SM! This was an awesome treat, Igniting the wonder of the series all over again.

Hdbgegeg

The cover. I don’t how the cover looks. I know it’s just a cranberry (I forgot what it is) but...it’s looks... disturbing, creepy, herpies probably but the the book is the best!

Sketchyolive

Love. Love it

DevinLauren

Jacob and Renessme. I’m just waiting for one day Jacob and esme gets their own book and it’s from her point of view!

DoggieLover128

Team Edward 4 life. I love this book so much! I’m a huge twilight fan and I am a team Edward, so this book was kinda my jam. I love seeing everything that I didn’t get to see through Bella’s POV. It really adds a lot to the story, and I like it. I don’t want the series to end! Make more!

Gave it a good shot

It gave what I wanted!. This was the perfect book for a lover of the series. It was everything I’d hoped this version of the story would be... totally indulgent, over the top, fan serving, and honestly a great companion to the first book. But it also went beyond that! It gave more detail that really solidified the story and made it make more sense. The connection between Edward and Bella, the reason behind the intensity, and the impact of it all was better understood through this lens. It brought the story slightly closer to the possibility of it all being real in the sense that we could relate better to the emotions and understand where these two characters were coming from. Overall a very fun read, sure to transport one back to years ago where our obsessions with this series began in our young hearts, but also sturdy enough to engage readers new to the experience. 7/10 objectively, but 20/10 for me personally!

5:09

A Great Idea For Fans!. I was wary getting into this book because of Edward’s famously dark and masochistic thoughts. However, it surprised me- his motives and turmoils were interesting to experience. And yes, I say experience! Stephenie Meyer doesn’t just present the above information, she writes in a way that drags you into the character and situation. This was a perfect end to my Twilight phase.

Analettuce

addicting. i have been a super fan of the twilight saga movies for YEARS. i watched the movies before i even picked up the book because when these books came out i was only 9. 22 now i watch the movies almost every other week! my dad bought me the books on my phone because he knew my obsession and i read Twilight knowing i would love it already! but THIS book crushed my heart repeatedly. never in my years of watching Twilight had i understood Edward’s love for Bella, i always thought it was just fascination for her and his struggle with reading her like he so easily had with everyone else. tho this book depicts Edwards love and obsession with her so much deeper than i could have ever imagined ! i was sucked into the book comparing Twilight to Midnight sun and i can saw 100% this is my favorite book of them all and i haven’t even read the rest of the books! I wish i could read it again with fresh eyes! 10/10 would recommend. now i’m onto new moon 😍

DeckedFlower479

Absolutely fantastic. This was a wonderful book with an excellent choice actor. Praying this series is continued through the end. Edwards side of the story is fantastic. I would love to hear more of his side.

01ivia<3

Interesting. personally i feel like this book is more intersting than the original twilight it is cool to learn about the backgroud of the cullens and thier history but i wish we got more of that, especially about Alice. i feel like edward didnt have a lot of personality even though it was through his perspective i would have liked to know more about him that didnt involve bella

Tayteonnamarie

i loved this one even more than Twilight!. Stephanie Meyer has a way of humanizing a monster; making sure that you feel what they feel and love who they love. Twilight was good but this book is a thousands times better!

MSFRMSFR

Here’s the dealio. So this book is just very true. Edward is the most dramatic character in any book I’ve ever read and none of that is missed here. We now have some forms of explanations for all the weird stuff (eating her tear and being a stalker especially) and personally I now get their relationship so I guess that’s a win. Overall I liked reading it and it was well written if a bit much at times, but isn’t that part of the greater series’s appeal? Anyway I need to go off and listen to some emo music stat so I can feel what it’s like to be Edward in this book...

Capturedbyviva.com

Even better than the original.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Pewdiepie lovr

That’s a pomegranate. Someone said cranberry that’s a pomegranate

Alli1996$

Midnight sun! Would read it again!👍. Such a good book! I really hope she writes the rest of the series in Edwards POV! I feel like it’s better in his pov honestly!

Madie Mac

LIVED IT!. Everything I hoped for!!!

LoPMC2006

Loved this. This was such a great read. It did get confusing because Edwards brooding inner monologue is so long and in depth but completely on par with his character, and not having it would negate his character on a major level. And because, as the author has demonstrated, vampires think and process multiple things in their heads at one time so an entire separate conversation happening in Edward’s head between when he’s asked a question to when he answers it, is completely on point with what you’d expect from him. I really enjoyed this book. I hope that Miss Meyers will give us more on this series she started, especially now that no more movies can follow this. I appreciate the movies, but they pale in comparison to the books.

Omg is this real?

Love is everywhere!. I loved hearing everything from Edward’s point of view!

CupCakeNinjaa

Definitely worth a read. Hearing Edwards thoughts and being able to see Alice’s visions through him was the best part of this book. The race to get to Bella in time to save her from James was very thrilling. It also made me like Jasper a lot more, he seemed more involved which was cool

The missing piece of the puzzle. Love it! This book is the last missing piece of the puzzle. It answers so many questions and clears out so much more. Couldn’t put it down and made me reread the entire saga all over again

Lilyq35yuyfgf

Loved it. I loved this book, one of my favourites

Lori-anna-h

Take me back. This took me back to the time when I couldn’t put the Twilight series down, I live to read and this series is the only one I have read again and again... and this book did not disappoint, it was great and intense reading the book through Edwards eyes .... I really hope that she will reconsider and write the entire series through Edwards eyes.

Lovemakinghomes!

THE BEST. No words come to mind, this book is that good. As a fan of twilight waiting for this release for years? It is 100% absolutely worth the wait!

AIOfan4evr

INCREDIBLE. I LOVE IT. 5+ STARS.

Ericaraina

I waited so long for this. This book exceeded my expectations. I already know the story of Twilight from Bella’s POV and didn’t think I needed to hear it from Edward but I learned so much, I better understand it all and I’m PRAYING that we get the other books in Edward’s POV because I need to know!!

Major twi hard

Loved. Twilight!!!!!!! New book yasssssssss!!! I’ll read it and love it even if it’s crap BECAUSE ITS TWILIGHT

Amesternaut

It never ends. And Edward is a manipulative psychopath. I loved twilight as a 19 year old but my god. This guy is a stalker and the inner workings of his brain make me want to scream at Bella to run as fast as she can to get away from all the freaky deaky stuff that he thinks about and does. He hides in her room every single night. No, that is not a healthy relationship. That is not “protecting her”. That is a toxic relationship. He is a psychopath and a manipulator, creating this dependent relationship where he thinks she won’t survive without him protecting her. Buuuulllllll crap. And you want little girls and boys to read this and think that’s what love is? And to get married in high school? Omg. To think I thought this was amazing when I read it from Bella’s point of view. Well, at least she was a character with substance. I couldn’t finish it. Kept putting it down then trying to get back into it and eventually I gave up when I realized I hadn’t gotten to the baseball / three evil vampires part. No. Just no.

Galionprime

It was worth the wait. Reading this book felt like a return. Not a rehash, a redo or redundancy. It is a return to those moments of happiness and excitement as you clutch a book and wishing to never put it down. Stephenie Meyer returns with her character’s charisma in full force. We all loved the clouded but somehow shining atmosphere of the original Twilight and this book is the expanding of that story we crave. This book displays that there is more to the story and that even after all these years, we will always be thirsty for more.

Twilight 4 Me

Great to hear and see the story from EPOV. I’d been waiting for this (after reading the leaked online chapters years ago). This story does not disappoint. Edward Cullen is the most intriguing character in the series in my opinion. The thoughts he has and the struggles with being what he is to live his day-to-day life. I also enjoyed more of the backstory with his family life especially his relationship with his parents. It’s great that Midnight Sun is nearly 700 pages. I recommend the series to anyone. It’s awesome!

"P" is for Perception

Enjoyed!. I thought ugh that with knowing the story already I would find it a dull read but I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Marc Lafrance

It's really good to see the 2 sides of the medal hihi and I like it. That's quite a good book and it's good to have the Edward's side of the story lol

Karen the epic nubblet

Should have done New Moon. SM said this is the only book she is writing through the eyes of Edward. If she was only going to do one book, I wish it was new moon as there are so many questions unanswered with Edward in that book..... we can only hope she changes her mind and write what Edward felt in New Moon...

ToshaR

Disappointed. After reading the first five books I was supper excited to read the latest one. I was unable to drag past half of the book. Oh! Edward was mush more interesting from Bella’s eyes. Jacobs point of view was interesting too. This books is a ripoff. Edward’s point of view felt disoriented. It’s boring. It was fun to read the 1st few chapters. Then I was speed reading. It could have been better written. Or it was just written to make $$$.

A different Point of view. I really enjoyed reading this! Even though it’s the same like the first! However, it great to hear Edward’s thoughts and how he felt through out the whole story. I really hope we get to see more because I would like to know what Edward went through in New Moon!

Tlou great

Good. The book was good. I’ve always wanted to know Edwards thoughts. I feel like we learned more hearing both sides of the story. My only criticism is that his thoughts often lead to very long drawn out stories. Some are useful for the storyline — some not so much in this moment

BLouiseBrooks

Loved it!. Definitely worth the wait. I hope more is written soon!

Kindra rea

Just wonderful. So happy to have so much more of this world!

Mbcarst

So good. This book totally took me back to the first meeting of Edward and Bella. It was exciting to revisit all the memories but from Edwards perspective. I fell in love with the vampire all over again.

Cheriann80

Not the same. Doesn’t follow the first books very much, very confusing

Kamilaml

A MA ZING. Absolutely amazing

Pndjc12345

Okay. I found this book to drag. I read all of the twilight books in one month. I could not put them down. This one didn’t have that hold on me.

Classof2k19)

Team Edward for life❤️❤️❤️❤️. I love twilight since I was ten years old and I love Edward and I love how this book is and I felt in love with the vampire again and also love the movie to and I also will be team Edward for life

Celesta38

Thank you. Great book. This was an amazing book. It was well worth the wait. Thank you Stephenie for sharing your amazing talent. I loved jumping back into the world of Vampires.

Emsellyr

I can’t say I didn’t like it.. When I first began to read the Twilight saga I was 12 years old. Now of course my adolescent-self did not realize how strange the romantic realtionship between an introverted 17 year old girl and a 108 year old self-loathing killer was, but the gloomy love story always intrigued me and most likely shaped my developing style throughout my teenage years. Even though I knew the story I still found myself rapidly consuming this book. Can Edwards self-hatred get tiresome? Yes. Are a considerable amount of his actions argueably creepy and obsessive? Yes. Do Bella and Edward dive into this romantic relationship at a rate that comes off as immature? Yes. But all in all, if you look at these characters as teenagers experiencing first love the actions seem to be less off-putting and more endearing. Not to mention how this book allows the reader to mindread with Edward which I thought was pretty cool. So, if you grew up reading the twilight saga and some part of your childhood self still loves the world Stephenie Meyer created, I’d say you’d most likely enjoy this book. Even though the chances of more books in Edward's perspective are slim, I would love to see them!

Dayton Donna

Worth the wait!. Great insight into the characters!

SArevalo78

Please tell me you’re rewriting every book from Edwards POV. Like the others I could not put this book down! I need more ❤️

Alexiajc97

Must read!. Amazing! I hope she does the rest in his perspective as well. It would be cool to see the next one with his and Alice’s perspective split. It’s odd to me people didn’t like it, saying how it’s the same thing as the first book. Like duh. That’s what it is, just from Edward’s POV. You get to read more about his family too which is perfect and any die hard fan’s dream.

Eileen__

A great flashback. Loved it

Violinfire

Absolutely Excellent. (Spoilers). Midnight Sun was my second favorite book of the Twilight saga after Eclipse. The deep, hidden recesses of Edward’s mind were a wonder to behold. So many interactions between his family members, brooding soliloquies, and the thoughts of those in the world of Twilight are present. Edward is initially entirely averse to Bella. That quickly turns to intrigue, fascination, amusement, and love. One of the things that Edward realizes the more time that he spends with Bella is that she sees, hears, and understands him for all that he is- even the parts that cause him to feel shame. Bella has an authenticity to her that Edward can perceive without hearing her thoughts. Up until the tendrils of a long lost hope of love reach Edward’s frozen heart, he feels incredibly sure that he is innately evil, bad, and an abomination. He doesn’t believe think that he is even deserving of love, much less having a chance at it. Edward feels such horror for what he is. When Bella tells him just how beautiful, good, and worthy of love he is, Edward seems to allow short periods of fantasy to lift his spirits. During this time, he is sincerely happy and hopeful. Unfortunately, Edward has frequent bouts of allowing his cynical, hopeless thoughts to take over. This sentiment comes back full force at the end. The last two chapters are the saddest chapters of the Twilight saga I have read. It’s full of dread (already knowing the outcome of Edward’s intensifying will), and a deeper knowledge of Edward’s departure that seemingly never reached Bella. I think that in New Moon, Bella’s main feeling was caused by the forcible removal of Edward from her life. She felt empty, emotionless (when conscious), and confused (if not shocked). I think we all know that Edward could have never truly told Bella why he left. Nevertheless, it’s driven home for us at the end of Midnight Sun. When reading and watching through Twilight (and the beginning and mid-section of New Moon), Edward’s sentiments are not so clear. The end of MS adds an element of revulsion (of self), deep sadness, and self sacrifice that wasn’t present in Twilight. Midnight Sun gives such insight into Edward’s mind and the constant conflict that he is having (between wanting Bella and wanting to keep her safe). I really appreciate MS more than Twilight itself (even though it is the book that started the whole saga). Bella was the person to pull Edward out from his eternally empty reverie of just existing. Bella saw herself as completely unremarkable, fading into the background. Obviously, Edward views her as the opposite. There are some beautiful passages that give life to what Edward thought about Bella. The events take longer in Midnight Sun compared to Twilight, in my opinion. The specific events of Twilight take a backseat in MS. Instead, Edward’s thoughts are front and center. By virtue of reading into Edward’s mind, we are able to take a look into the motivating thoughts of others. Twilight is the missing piece in that narrative (with Bella’s perspective). The cover image is perfectly selected. Each of the many times “the pomegranate” is mentioned, it draws a well-depicted narrative of its deeper meaning. Bella was the catalyst for warmth, life, and love for Edward, his Midnight Sun.

10/10. Better than Bella.

Altyalt

Excellent book from a different perspective. Was waiting for this book since it leaked, glad i was able to support her and hopefully help her get started on the next installment

Drewrobertss

stunning. i’ve loved this series ever since i was little. this book was a wonderful continuation of this world that i’ve grown to love so much. truly wonderful.

Saweeett

Awesome!. A great read. Didn’t want to finish it too quickly. :) Loved it thank you..... here is hoping you will continue Edwards journey for us through all the books in the saga. No pressure, but please ?

Madewellmom

Did not disappoint!. Thank you Stephanie for finishing this. I was furious when you were betrayed and hurt. I waited until you had decided not to contribute and you released your unedited version to read the beginning all those years ago and it was my now 14 year old daughter who told me that this was coming. (She has read my copies of the saga recently). Like the others, I could not put it down for long, great job! Cori in Waco, TX

Xxhubfdddgjb

Renaissance. Thank you Stephenie Meyer.

Tupatchi

Lovely. I’ve looked forward to reading this for many years. I was not disappointed. However, it’s made me want to read more of Edwards point of view for the next three Twilight books in the series. :)

Lannalou19

More. Everything I waited for and more. And I’d gladly take more if she ever felt the need to write more from Edwards POV. I was a fan from day one, and I still am now. What an eloquent way to show a deeper side to the story after all these years later. Kudos to the author, this is my favorite of the series for sure!and well worth the wait!

Froggyspeedgal

Amazing.. Better than the whole twilight series combined. Absolutely amazing and perfect in every way.

Nunu the bear

Midnight Sun. I loved it, i enjoyed getting to see a new perspective from the story. Especially how Edward could read people’s minds. I found it very fascinating I truly recommend it.

Mbfos1011

Worth the wait. This is exactly what i have been waiting for. I can only hope there will be more in the future but if not this is enough for me i love this series

The Color wheel

Enjoy Reading Edward POV. This was a good read! I loved the books from the start and I enjoyed reading from Edwards POV. It helped fill in some holes. It also made me want to read all the other books from his point of view

Amazing. This book was really good I would recommend to anyone of you like the other four books you will like this.

It’s exactly what I expected(slight spoiler). This book definitely fits the character of Edward. It explains a few more details of the dynamic between the family. I just wish there was more history of the main guy.... Edward. Of course the story of the love him and Bella share. Though I’ve always been Team Jacob (even before the casting of Taylor 😜) I have no doubts about being Team Jacob now. Blame my past experiences.... but yea. Lol. Thank you Stephanie for following through with this novel. I’ve been waiting for what seems like an eternity!! Lol. Well done. Hopefully more?? 🙏🙌🏻

Edwarddddddd. I have always been team Edward and now reading this made me even more. Loved the Edward view of meeting Bella and falling in love with her !

Loved it!. I was hesitant because I thought “well it’s the same book, so how great can that be?”. It was AWESOME! Made me see Twilight so differently. It answered a lot of questions I had about why/how some things went down the way the did, and many moments of “what the heck was Edward thinking?!”. And it made some seemingly innocent moments seem almost horrifying when seen through Edwards eyes. Overall glad I bought it and truly would LOVE New Moon from Edwards POV!

Wow. Edward has an incredibly fresh perspective on the Twilight story. Lots of new backstory. I do wish Ms. Meyer had included a conversation between Edward and Alice about her visions of her future revelations about her human life. He mentioned wanting this conversation but it never happened on paper. Though I would never deny more from this story that was the one thing I felt like was forgotten.

Midnight Sun. I would read every single book written from Edwards perspective. I would love to see how his thoughts are during the time he is away from Bella. And again when he returns and Jacob has been her rock the entire time. I would love to see Stephanie write all these books that way. So very engaging.

Thumbs way down. Where to start! I’m 76% done with this book and I really want to just not finish it, but I’m not a quitter! Plus I’m loyal! I LOVED the first 4 books! Not the movies, but the books! However THIS BOOK! “SHOCK FACE” I read the portion that got leaked a few years back and was so excited. I really enjoyed it! But THIS?? I don’t find THAT in this! We think we want to hear Edwards thoughts but that must have been in theory! This portrayal of Edward makes him LAME and pathetic! He goes ON AND ON AND ON about NOTHING! I finally just started skipping through which is a bummer because I’m sure I probably missed SOMETHING good in there as I was skipping! But I just can’t do his endless self abasement and over thinking, page after page after page! It’s as if because we wanted to hear “some of his thoughts” they got shoved down our throats and now we’re gaging into them! I’m sorry to be so harsh, but I was THRILLED when I found out the book was coming out and so let down at this point. Edward is no longer sexy he’s pathetic! Please fix him in New Moon! And while you’re at it, please redo the movies! I know I sound like I’m just a hater, genuinely I’m not! I love the books, have read them several times and though I don’t like what the directors did with the movies, I have watched them more than once even recently because they hold a place in my heart!

I can’t wait to read this!. I’ve heard nothing but good about this book. I plan on reading it after I’ve finished the four Twilight books. I literally just finished Mew Moon maybe an hour ago. Can’t wait!

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Love it just as much as I loved twilight when I first read it 10 years ago!!!

Intriguing and unexpected. Midnight sun was amazingly well put together and brought to life aspects of the story that as a reader I wondered how they were experienced from the characters point of view. The book gave new perspective and story to the original plot without explicitly changing the it. I also enjoyed seeing the complexity of how Alice has to change small details to adjust the future to her liking. I can never get enough of these books and can’t wait to see what the author plans to create next.

Absolutely love this book!. I love this book. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. I really hope there are more sequels from edwards view to go along side the rest of the twilight series.

Manesbylalla

Great read!. Was so excited to hear Edward’s side, and of course she did not disappoint!

Amanda_Sportiello

Lovely. Great. I enjoyed hearing Edward’s side of this story so much. Now I hope she does the rest of the twilight series. 😍😍😍

Kobogir

Bit of a stretch. There weren’t any revelations that made this book necessary for the series. Not to mention the way Meyer depicts the quileute tribe as less than desirable to say the least. I don’t know.. I’m sure I’m too old to be reading this as a 25 year old but considering I was 13 the first time around, I felt compelled to pick it up for nostalgia purposes. Some things didn’t make sense as well and felt like a bit of a stretch, like edward would feel a certain way but say the total opposite as it was necessary to keep the dialogue the same as twilight. I wish I hadn’t spent $15 on a book I have no interest in finishing even though I’m 77% complete.

AbbyRawr

This is the worst book I’ve ever read. This is the absolute worst book I have ever read and I’ve read thousands of books. It was a very poor attempt at showing the same story from another point of view. I loved the first 3 books. This was beyond terrible. I am sorry I wasted my time on it.

MeiMei92

Thank you.. There’s no words to express how much I love this book and how much my selfish self needs more.

A Perfect Sequel. I’ve gotta say, I didn’t expect this book to be good. I didn’t think that anymore could be added to the Twilight series without just being a run-on, but this book answered so many questions. Plus, all the times you wondered “what is Edward thinking?”, now you know. I hope that she does this for the rest of the series, and no offense to any hard-core Bella fans, but I liked Edwards story better. I felt it was more thought out, and that we really felt just how much pain Edward was in every day. This book definitely was a good purchase, and an even better read.

Game-ination

The other viewpoint. Edward has a fast-paced mind. His world is action-packed and suspenseful while he manages to keep a human pace for Bella.

Wow!. It was cool to see Edwards POV towards things. Wish there was another coming out!

Amazing-5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I really enjoyed reading this book and really recommend it. It was really informative and exciting to see the story from Edward’s point of view.
