Midnight Sun

Relive the passion and thrill of the New York Times bestselling Twilight Saga romance with this highly anticipated companion, retelling the iconic love story of Bella and Edward, from the vampire's point of view.

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 delivers an epic novel about the profound pleasures and devastating consequences of immortal love.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"For ardent fans of the star-crossed couple, [Midnight Sun] offers a more richly detailed view of Forks, Wash., and its inhabitants, undead and otherwise."—The New York Times

"So, will team Edward be happy with this book?... Absolutely. Meyer wrote with her biggest fans in mind, dedicating the book to them, and plunging into the mind of Washington state's most complicated teenage vampire as he falls for a woman who is more determined than we've given her credit for."—The Washington Post

"[Midnight Sun] is more complex, more sophisticated and less innocent than Twilight. Although it was Bella's story that launched more than a decade's worth of young adult sci-fi and dystopian heroines, it turns out the narrative power -- and compelling internal drama -- was on Edward's side all along."—Time

"Stephenie Meyer's Midnight Sun brings about a long-awaited consummation. It's not a climactic moment between teenager Bella Swan and the gorgeous vampire Edward Cullen but a consummation that reconnects Ms. Meyer with her vast and hungry audience.... Will gratify devotees."—The Wall Street Journal

"The new book does, however, unexpectedly and rather wonderfully, suggest that the Bella-Edward relationship was never the central love affair of the Twilight series. Humans and vampires may gaze meaningfully into each other's eyes, but the true passion in the books is Meyer's love for her readers -- and their love for her."—NBC News

Didn’t finish yet so far so good

I hate his voice it’s heard to listen to tbh
I wish it was more soothing or smooth

Wrong Voice for narrator/Edward

They chose the wrong person to read- the voice is too flat, deep, rough, and angry sounding. It’s just...wrong. I couldn’t get past the first few chapters. I’m going to just read it on kindle instead.

Meh...

Basically it’s the same as the other books all over again with some commentary by Edward. Just trying to keep Edward and Bella story “alive” a little longer.

Unbelievable Performance by Jake Abel

I read the Twilight books in my mid-20’s, so I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this book as a 40-year old. I enjoyed getting things from Edward’s perspective, definitely a more mature version of the story. But what really impressed me was the narrator. Jake Abel is one of the best narrators I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. Bravo!

Thank you Stephenie, thank you.

A fan of all the books, I eagerly awaited this one. Way back when there was rumor that you were writing it, I could barely contain my excitement and knew that one day you would award us for our patience.
You did not disappoint!
I really enjoyed this book simply because it was Edward's POV. You gave us history and insight and a glimpse of the love and anguish Edward felt throughout.

I hate to say this, but just in case Ms Meyer happens to read this, I want more. I want to see and feel all the books from Edward's point of view. I know this more than likely will not happen but a girl can dream a little twilight dream.

Again, thank you giving this work to us, it was a wonderful ride.
