Just as good as I thought it would be! ~Sheila
Admittedly, I am a Twilight Junky. I absolutely ADORED all the books… and yes, the movies too. I don’t know what if it was the combination of a Young Adult read (which I love!), with the combo of a magical force (oooh! Double love!) in this case Vampires and Werewolves… but there you have it. I loved it all. I couldn’t get enough.
That said, I was cautiously optimistic when I heard about this book. On one hand SUPER EXCITED that after all this time another book was here and this time from Edward’s perspective – yet we have all experienced the case where someone tries to make lightning strike twice in books and/or movies and in the long run, you wish they would have left well enough alone. #StayOnTop
I am happy to say, I really enjoyed this revisit to Forks, Washington. I mean yeah its a little cooler than I like and the sun doesn’t shine too bright, but I do have friends there. I am still unsure if my love for this book was the feel good feeling of having the chance to be back in that world, or if I really enjoyed it for the story. The world – may never know. Bottom line for me is, who cares. I listened to this on audio and enjoyed the comfy familiarity of the setting. I did enjoy hearing Edwards side of the same story I knew from Twilight, yet from his perspective – his thoughts as he went from loathing Bella, to trying to fight his love for her – the need to be with her always.
Good stuff. IMO.
Twilight Fans, I would love to know your take on this read? Did you have the experience I did, where I kind of hope the whole series is continued this way… or was it just too much like the first book and basically a re-read of a book you may already have on your shelf?
This is definitely on my “gotta get a used copy” list. I loved the books…the movies are….so so
I’m glad it came through for you!
I am glad you loved it. Not a fan of Twilight, lol, but I am glad when book lovers find new books to enjoy.
Unfortunately, I found Edward to be unbearably boring and repetitive. I finished the book, but I was not impressed at all. Sigh.
I really liked the book. It’s a perfect companion to Twilight. I loved all his overthinking, because, who hasn’t overthought everything?
I am reading Midnight Sun by Stephanie Meyer right now. So far pretty intense but great. I am also writing my own Vampire fiction. Adnama and Alex.
Which is more grown up than the Twight Saga. As in there are no young adults in it. I love Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight Saga books. They inspired me. Though Adnama and Alex were in my mind long before. She inspired me to go for it.
