Publisher's Summary

It's here! Number one best-selling author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to the world of Twilight with this highly anticipated companion: the iconic love story of Bella and Edward told 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, listeners 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 listeners and brings us an epic novel about the profound pleasures and devastating consequences of immortal love.

Great “read” and great audio voice

Could not “put it down” every time I could have headphones in or was jumping in the car I was listening. Loved getting an alternate view on the twilight saga with out it feeling repetitive.

Voice was soothing and very pleasant to listen too. Great story telling and pitch.

Absolutely loved hearing from Edward's side... especially so many details that you never considered from Bella's perspective in the first book.

Surprisingly enjoyable!

After reading the reviews I was sceptical about listening, but I found myself enjoying every minute of it!
Contrary to many other reviews I liked the narrator (except the girly voice he sometimes used for Bella). Yes, he did not sound 17yo, but I found it easy to listen to.

Yes, we know much of the story already, but I really liked the glimpses into what happened when Bella wasn't around (or awake, haha).

Overall: loved it just as much as the original Twilight book!

Officially switched from team Jacob to Edward!

Like a fine wine Stephanie's writing has gotten SO much better with age!

I can't believe how poetic and beautiful this story flowed. I fell in love.

I really hope we get the rest of the series from Edward's point of view. Reading this felt like all the little missing threads of a tapestry were slowly weaving themselves together.

I loved having more insight to Alice and the other Cullens.

I used to be team Jacob but after reading this I am officially head over heels for Edward.

Amazing!

Go for the Audio Version of the book!

Really enjoying the narration by Jake Abel. He's done a brilliant job! I was a bit nervous that it would be hard to hear another actor voice Edward after the movies, but Jake has made for a really seamless read. I normally zip through e-books so am thoroughly enjoying the slower pace of the audiobook instead.
Story satisfying in that it fills in so much of what was hidden in Twilight.

The wait was worth it

I read the books when they first came out and originally when Stephanie had released the single chapter from Midnight Sun I was ready. Although I didn’t know it’d be years and years later I still felt like the giddy teenager reading this like I read all the previous novels.

This is just another shining example of a world of love that conquers all. Thanks Stephanie for bringing this escape into my life again.

Grateful for it

I'm really grateful that after the horrific theft Stephanie suffered, she was able to finish this book and that it was produced so wonderfully as an audio book. In saying that, I didn't enjoy it very much, but only because I think it's not for me anymore. I read twilight as a teenager and I don't think I'm midnight sun's audience anymore. I struggled not to be bored. But in saying that, I think Stephanie did a wonderful job of Edward's side of the story and gave us insight into some of his decision making.
