Blockbuster author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to
the world of Twilight with this companion: the iconic love story of Bella and
Edward told from the vampire's point of view -- in paperback edition.
When Edward Cullen and Bella Swan met in Twilight, an
iconic love story was born. But until now, fans have heard only Bella's side of
the story. At last, readers can experience Edward's version in the long-awaited
companion novel, Midnight Sun.
This unforgettable tale as told through Edward's eyes takes on a
new and decidedly dark twist. Meeting Bella is both the most unnerving and
intriguing event he has experienced in all his years as a vampire. As we learn
more fascinating details about Edward's past and the complexity of his inner
thoughts, we understand why this is the defining struggle of his life. How can
he justify following his heart if it means leading Bella into danger?
In Midnight Sun, Stephenie Meyer transports us back to
a world that has captivated millions of readers and brings us an epic novel
about the profound pleasures and devastating consequences of immortal love.

Penelope's Review
Bestill my vampire loving heart. I have waited for this book for a VERY long time and now that it's here and I've finished it... sigh. It feels like saying goodbye to a long-time friend.
So... what did I think? I thought it was excellent of course! I'm sure you have all read the Twilight Saga or seen the movies, or at least seen enough memes to know what the heck is going on lol! Basically, Midnight Sun is Twilight from Edward's point of view. What I love the absolute most about this book is that it grew up with us! What do I mean by that? Well, when Twilight was released, I was just a tween and the book seemed to be written for that tween/early teen age category. The style of writing, the vocabulary used, etc. But now that I am in my twenties, it's like the book grew up - the language is more sophisticated, there are nuances for young adults/adults, etc. I felt like I was reading a book for my age category, not one for my inner 12-year-old self! And that speaks to the talent of Stephenie Meyer as an author. I feel that she has shaped her writing over the years, and come out on top!
I was quite surprised at the mixed reviews this book got - I mean it's a retelling of a previously published novel so of course you aren't getting a completely new book with a new storyline! It's meant to add just a little bit more, fill in the gaps, get inside Edward's head! And I felt that it accomplished this! The nostalgia kicked in, and I had a great time reliving an awesome part of my childhood.
Overall, I think this was a super fun read and I'm glad I picked up a copy! I seriously wish New Moon was being re-written from Edward's point of view - given the separation from Bella, that would be like reading a completely new book! But alas, it's not in the cards for us. It's been a fun and emotional journey, and I'm glad that I get to end it with Midnight Sun.
