FIRST TIME READING: Midnight Sun (Twilight)

I actually really loved Midnight Sun, kinda wish we got Edward’s pov for all of them lol

Brother your awesome, I’ve became a fan in one night. Watching all your out takes on you reading the books and watching the movies that I love,and that is including the hunger games series,are great and hilarious you got me cracking up. Keep up the good work, I’m loving it.

What is your Goodreads? I love your videos!

I've watched this now a few times, and I feel like it would've been good if this book continued in the other books. As the story progresses and Jacob gets more of a prominent role, a dual pov book could potentially be really cool.

you should also read life and death! its the gender bent version of twilight 😅 would LOVE to hear your thoughts lol

Can I be in love with this man I don't know besides watching all his videos for the last 2 days? Is it a super creepy Edward move? 😂

"why is midnight sun 700 pages" cuz Ed boy don't shut the heck up lol

I’m emotionally attracted to u😹

This was a ride haha

"There's no way he has double the thoughts Bella has" I bet a worm has double the thoughts Bella has, she's an NPC, she doesn't think, only reacts.

Alice is amazing!

The love and hate ride here is just chef's kiss.
Thanks for reading the book so I don't have to. 😂

Personally I don’t think Twilight was actually supposed to be a Young Adult romance. I think it was supposed to be more on the Noire side of fiction. It’s a lot more fun to read Twilight from that mindset.

The bookshelf is contemporary & sophisticated. Love the typewriter!

I'm rereading Midnight Sun. It occurred to me that there is an element of Fated Mates in this series. It's much deeper than infatuation leads instantly to blind, intense devotion and love. You see elements of Fated Mates mostly clearly in the last book. So, it makes Edward and Bella's instant connection and deep bond more plausible. I can also see toches of Romeo and Juliet.

Someone said that after reading this book, they were convinced that Edward was neurodivergent😂

I got the book my brother brought it for me when it came out. But i couldnt get past the first few pages even with listen to audio. I would have love a Jasper novel about his lifr up until the twilight events

So much fun enjoying the reread with you! Love the takes and laughed out loud!

I just finished reading it and ran to your video. I read the books when the first movie came out, and then watched them all but hadn’t touched any of this world since the 5th movie. Went on a binge watch last weekend and decided to bite the bullet. And I agree with most of what you said, specifically the length. I had to skim quite a bit because it was becoming really tedious. I didn’t need 30 pages of the car chase. It’s like she didn’t know how else to keep us worried. We know how the story ends, Stephanie, no need for a full nitros induced car race…

pov Rosalie

Rosalie covers her thoughts, she doesn't want Edward in her head. She is broken and doesn't want to show it, basically she loves him but not a dependent love but yes she has not healed from the trauma for years. and she calls Carlice useless trash and everyone blames her if she has emotions. Rosalie and Edward are similar, they have the same schools, they come from rich families. Meyer hates Rosalie as she admitted, so you have to read psychologically and between the lines. Edward is basically a broken soul more than the mass attacked Rosalie. I'm really worried about Edward without a drop of empathy, although he must have felt all the pain in Rose. A lack of emotion in killers apparently common, he reads thoughts like a boring headline. Esme and Carlice leaving their children traumatized for years is not a good calling card, plus Edwad is always preferred. The lines about Rosalie, where she is accused of beauty as a reason for rape, are absolutely hard for me to read. She was attacked by her fiance, statistics 80% why Meyer writes such misogyny and contempt for injured women. It is scary what kind of message it gives to the age group of girls (8-16) years old, who are most often attacked by a close person.

I think she also made it SO long as a fanservice since it came out way after the books and movies finished. So it was like “here’s 700 pages for twihards”. But content wise? 50% repetitive for sure

Is it me or is Edward suffering from both desperate hunger and intense cute agression?

Stop, I think this is the first time I've heard that Edward couldn't read Charlie's mind. Like whaaaaatttttt.

I need you to read life and death - the gender swapped for no reason twilight. Bright side: it’s shorter!!

This book completely ruined the entire saga for me ngl

Im at chapter 6 currently, trying to get inspiration for my own writing

honestly I liked this version more because I can actually see him as a vampire, a real dangerous vampire with killer instincts. Because from Bella’s pov he seems quite domesticated💀

The only thing I don’t like is he overthinks too much like bro, I have enough with my own overthinking I don’t want to read your internal yapping!

Bro is gonna love Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

What I liked the most about Edward's pov was them chasing James. It was pretty cool. Better than worried Bella just waiting around in a Hotel room with 2 silent vampires

This was very relatable. I couldn't finish this book because of the constant repetition. Also the Audible narrator souns like he's in his 30s at least so it makes the grooming even more disturbing 😭

i listened to this with a great reader last night, and i am cackling!

best book in twilight

Honestly a bit surprised but not much that we never get a comment about how Edward describes Jasper....like brother is covered is scars and is gnarly

The shelves look amazing👏

I think this book is so long because of when she wrote it… I think she was successful enough she got away with keeping it all in. If she’d written this first, I bet it would have been closer to the OG Twilight’s length.

I loved reading THG with you, i tried Midnight sun (already read the original trilogy and i was not going to read it again) but I couldn't last.... edward is still plain as a paper with writing in only one of the two pages. I'd love the development of the other characters but there's nothing that could make edwars tolerable fir me, so i left it un finished. Too muche insipid inner monologes

Have you heard of "life and death"?? The same store but gender swap. Curious about that one!

Now I kind of want you to read Roswell High and watch the Roswell series. 😂

I hope we get a room tour at some point, I'm really curious about the wall art and of course the book collection. =D

Hard disagree. Edward spends a lot of time in other people's heads. That takes a lot of space and time. He also reflects on the morality and ethics of every situation and his disgust with the advantages of the Cullen family. I don't find it repetitive. It's interesting.
Also...vampires mate...they don’t date. His rapid descent into obsession is about that.

If you like killing serial killer books, read "I am Not a Serial Killer"!!!

I agree that it is VERY droning, this long ass book. Also unnecessary at times. But when you consider the fact that vampires think much faster than humans do in the same amount of time, it makes sense. Like Edward's had aaaalll those thoughts within a second and Bella's just thought "wow he's beautiful". Also, because his thoughts are jotted down on the book, it's supposed to help us see how very different vampires are from us. It doesn't matter if he's a 100, human morality rules and laws don't apply to them and how he managed to go from downright killing her to being obssessed with her.

Midnight Sun is so much longer because Edward and his thoughts are just so much more interesting than Bella‘s to be honest and while she’s doing boring stuff like going to work or whatever the heck Bella does half the time he and his family are actually doing super exciting, hilarious and interesting things so as much as I like to hate on Twilight, I actually really enjoyed Midnight Sun lol!

Anyone else in the whole series woupd have mad better books and movies than edward and bella

I think the draw of the twilight books comes from Stephanie Meyer created the most interesting world and chose the blandest part of it to focus on 😂 the side characters, the concepts, the little bits of fascinating backstory are all peeking out behind Edward and Bella's love story keeping us riveted and making them look amazing

Oh man! I remember binge reading that book more than once and I know I was clueless to all the Edward craziness because I was just enjoying myself! This was fun to watch!!! I Love Charlie!!!!!
