Review: Midnight Sun

 Review: Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer (The Twilight Saga 5)

Midnight Sun is Edward’s version of Twilight which was long awaited by Twilight fans. To be honest, I found it better than the original version (Bella’s POV). Stephenie’s writing style has definitely improved in this version. And since Edward can read minds we got to know The Cullens better and also the real intentions and thinking of Bella’s friends. I liked the way how Alice was so excited to meet Bella for the first time and how she literally begged Edward to let her. We also got a little insight of Rosalie who envied Bella’s mortality and Carlisle and Esme who loved Edward as their son and Emmett who was so carefree and fun and Jasper’s inner battles of human blood. 

The book was both intense and funny. I literally laughed so much throughout the book. I loved how Bella changed Edward now that we could see it through Edward’s POV, how he nearly killed Bella in the starting and how he learned to control his thirst all because he loved her so much. 

The things I didn’t like about Midnight Sun was how Edward portrayed Bella a good girl without any flaws and perfect in all sense which is hardly ever true even for a fictional character. And obviously the clichéd romance. 

What’s important to know is that it’s not a new story, it’s a retelling of Twilight from Edward’s POV. So, many of you will not like the book. I recommend it only to those who’ve read The Twilight Saga or atleast the first book because it’s basically written for The Twilight fans. 

Compared to Twilight, I found Midnight Sun a whole lot better.
