It's not a collective outburst, it's real! Midnight Sun will be released, I need to read this book urgently. Thank you, Stephenie Meyer for presenting us at this difficult time. I believe it may be difficult to think about releasing the other books in the series, but is there a possibility?

I really want the confrontation between the Cullens and the Volturi from Edward's POV.

Plus, in New Moon, Edward was chasing Victoria all across the country, and lost her in Brazil. He didn't realize Victoria would head back to Forks to go after Bella. So, I'd like to know what he was thinking while in Brazil, and why he never ever considered that Bella might be in danger.

[EDIT]

Stephenie has stated there will be no other Twilight books retold from Edward’s point of view.

m I the only one fearing about this? Haven't re-read twilight in a while but let's be honest,those were books for teens and if they are trying to sell us the same story over again, with the same fifteen year old perspective,I think it isn't going to work. I mean,sure she knows we all grow up, and we are no longer got flushed with a few kissing scenes right? Do u believe this ll be darker n steamier?

In my view, it's going to be 1000x more times more interesting than Bella's POV. From the partial Midnight Sun draft alone we found out what happens to the men in Port Angeles, we never would've found out in Twilight because Edward never mentions it again.

If you don't want to read the same story again, fair enough, but we're finally getting an internal monologue from Edward and we're going to be able to understand him much, much better. My Twilight copy is 434 pages long and Midnight Sun is at least 600/700 (where I ordered from says 752) so it'll reveal never known details about the original series.

Obviously, I can't comment on whether she's changed anything major because it isn't out yet but she has mentioned that she was given the freedom to do whatever she wanted in the scenes without Bella. I do assume the internal monologue is going to be a big darker, though. What nerves me most is the direct quote from the description, "This unforgettable tale as told through Edward's eyes takes on a new and decidedly dark twist." so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

She eventually works out a deal with Hades to come up to the sky/ garden for part of the year, hence her being also called the Goddess of the spring. He keeps her coming back by giving her pomegranate seeds to eat, every fall.(less)

Surly I can't be the only adult excited about this? 😂

When she talked about an Edward's version of Twilight I was so annoyed and was like, "does she not have another idea for a story?" ThenI read the draft and OMG I loved it! My daughter has moved on and is not nearly as excited as I am for this release!(less)

So I read Twilight and the second book years ago, but never finished all the books. Honestly, I need to read them all as I loved the first 2 and saw the first two movies, but can I read this without finishing the others first??
