adventurous tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

5.0

I put off reading this book for a long time because I thought it would just be the same story I know, and have already read multiple times. I had no idea how much I would adore this book, and how much I would be surprised! I thoroughly enjoyed all the changes, and was hooked into this new story right away! I LOVED the last few chapters and epilogue, and reading this book was overall such a fun experience! Beau and Edythe have my heart.

I think for the first half of the novel, I really enjoyed the swapped gender and it felt like a dynamic careful shift, but as the pace picked up, it got sort of more formulaic and unbelievable (well…more unbelievable). I thought that the end where

they let the venom run its course was a really interesting way to contain the story and rule out sequels. It did make it slightly more melancholic though in terms of the impact on Charlie and Renee. I maybe would have rather seen that play out as an alternative end to the original Twilight.

 

It’s still a really flawed mythology, but I really love that world and the possibilities of the characters. I seriously hope there are more novels to follow (but no more Midnight Sun, if’n ya please)
