Stephenie Meyer

Midnight Sun [2008 Draft]

I wish I read this before Twilight, so I wouldn't have hated the series as much.
Seriously, though. Edward's narration is just so exceptional. If I hadnt read The Host, I never would have expected that from Ms. Meyer. His pure love and adoration for Bella is so overwhelming, it makes you wanna cry.

This was awesome! It really made a difference with Edward's P.O.V straight from the beginning. I loved hearing his thoughts and how abrasive he was towards Bella in the start. Which, if you've read Twilight, Bella's approach towards Edward is anything but abrasive, in fact the opposite. We finally get to read where he went after meeting her in Biology class that first day. I liked this, it filled a lot of holes and made me understand Edward way more better. Now, this is a partial draft because it was leaked before Meyer had time to finish it, but for a partial draft I was pretty satisfied. I really only wanted to read how Edward thought of Bella in the beginning when they first met. 

For the progress on where Midnight Sun is, writing wise, she hasn't let out any announcement whether she is even going to finish it. When Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined (10th anniversary edition) came out she actually said in an interview she was afraid that people were going to think that it would be the finished copy of Midnight Sun. This is pretty much a sure way of us knowing that we shouldn't expect the final copy any time soon, unfortunately. 

For the actual content in this, it was so well-written. You can definitely tell when Stephanie Meyer writes something because she has such a mature and unique writing technique, it's very inspiring. From just reading the Twilight series I always thought that Edward was just emotionless and had a flat personality. This totally changed what I thought! Again, you really get to see him struggle with these unfamiliar emotions he's having because of this clumsy new girl. There was humour with his side of the story, which I welcomed by the way.

Meyer really played on the fact the he can read minds. I loved Edward's replies towards the mind's he would read. I couldn't believe how rude some people were to eachoother and the jealousy towards Bella! It was a huge plus because now I knew what people really thought about each other and Bella in the couple first of chapters. Namely, Jessica. Meyer literally took us to the depths of Edward's mind and thought process and it really did change the Twilight experience for me. I found myself actually liking this version better than the originals. 

I really did enjoy this and I really do wish that Meyer would complete this! It would be epic and I definitely wouldn't mind the whole series in his P.O.V. It really was a game changer for Twilight and I'm definitely keeping my alerts on for whenever Meyer decides to finish the book.

It was definitely just as good as Twilight, although I wish it could have been completed.

I just wish Stephenie would write the rest of it! I've read it a few times. :)

I really want Stephenie Meyer to hurry up and finish writing this book so I can get my latest Twilight fix.

I liked this story, in which the events of the beginning of twilight are explained from Edwards point of view. It really gave some extra demension to the whole series!

Must read for every Twilight fan!
