They Need to do more from Edward’s POV!!
5By warriors is awesomeI loved this book soooo much and I wish that Stephanie Meyer would do the other 3 books from Edward’s POV!!!Phenomenal
5By Randi LeaI could read this over and over. It made me feel like I was a teen again. Such an awesome perspective from Edward’s point of view. I wish I could read them all from his perspective. 😍🥰I only got 59 pages
1By onailujaI bought this book yesterday and I only got to page 59. Now it is saying that I finished the book? Not sure what’s going on with that but definitely not happy about it at all.Midnight sun
5By Junior 1007Keep writing the series from Edward’s point of view, LOVE IT!!!!!Amazing!
5By Wifey4lyfeLoved this from Edward’s POV 🥰Long book
4By Kmorales27Long book, cool getting his perspective though!Love Love Love
5By NsndjfkcjdAbsolutely loved this book! Would definitely recommend if you enjoyed the Twilight series!Really good in a nostalgic way
4By anonuser$I loved this book it was a fun little throw back with all the burning questions and povs middle school me had needed answers to and wanted to see lol the twilight series is no literary masterpiece but they’re fun reads and nostalgic to those of us who grew up on themTHE BEGINNING
4By KATZERZ !!Ok in the beginning home bro was like mega deppresso kinda and he’s like “N-no! I can’t kill her! She’s to…F-fragile! Her skin is transparent! I…..N-need to protect her!!” And he was having sim scrumptious fantasies about eating her i wanted it in full detail but NO JE HAD TO RESIST. Anyways the start is kinda slow and he’s kinda cringey with the whole see through skin thing but then it gets better when she finds out. Also I just want to point out when they are in the forest and Bella is blushing and staring at him he’s just like “If there is a square area of 25 meters, and there are around 20 bugs in this one section, how many bugs are in the whole forest? 5,936!”❤️❤️❤️
5By reader😁It was sooooo good, 5 starsJust no
2By mistyfox🦊😻Twilight was just a very mediocre series. But this book is really terrible. Who wants to read about a guy stalking a girl at night? Yes, Bella is really annoying but she didn’t deserve that! I am also so team Jacob even tho he was cringe at times. Instead of making a book about Edward’s pov they should have made one about Jacob’s. It probably wouldn’t be much better but still.I really thought it couldn’t get any better.
5By 4evergladeThese books all mean so much to me. Nothing throws me in a different world quite like the story of Bella and Edward. This book is my new favorite. Seeing the classic through another point of view is crazy. So thankful to Stephenie for keeping it all going.Beautiful end to the Twilight saga
5By Evilteacher17What a beautiful way to take the reader back to the original story through the lense of Edward. Reading it was nostalgic but new at the same time. A must read for Twilight fans!I love edward
5By BellefanmdousI love edwardLove
5By Jessica.97Rediscovering twilight years later and this book was just what I needed.The background on the Cullens was engrossing
5By AmyHobbsI flew through this 1,000 page viewpoint of Edward, but not because of his inner-battling monologue. The stories and details about the Cullen family really fleshed out their characters in a way I hadn’t read them before and it was completely enthralling. I was so impressed by how Jasper was written specifically, but overall learning how they interacted with one another really filled in some holes in the lore I thought previously existed. Or Meyers noticed them and filled them in, whichever, it was a treat to read. There are a hundred little details I loved, like having a peak into what Jacob’s thoughts sound like to Edward, it was all very special. I had a moment at the end of the book that I got emotional because I love Meyers ability to convey emotion and I hope we are gifted with more future work from her.Interesting
4By 01ivia<3personally i feel like this book is more intersting than the original twilight it is cool to learn about the backgroud of the cullens and thier history but i wish we got more of that, especially about Alice. i feel like edward didnt have a lot of personality even though it was through his perspective i would have liked to know more about him that didnt involve bellaBetter Than Ever
5By Sorceress SarahI much prefer the Twilight story through Edward’s perspective!Amazing insight
4By lizzardbeanI loved that this was twilight from Edward’s perspective you get so much insight into his thoughts AND others’ I love how much you get from him, essentially the entire clan, Jessica, Mike, and even Jacob. So much more insight to the Quileute’s and the treaty and just knowing what Edward is thinking is fabulous. It is a but repetitive but it’s so worth it to fill out the characters more ESPECIALLY Rosalie, her behavior and attitude makes MUCH more sense after reading this. I feel like it’s essential to understanding the characters fully. It was amazing. (It’s only a 4 because of the unnecessary repetition and bit of filler that’s in the book but the positives outweigh that in my opinion)
