It’s a unique story, and if it was referenced a couple of times, it would have been fine.

Hence, the cover art is a picture of a semi-heart-shaped pomegranate.

In the tale, Hates traps Persephone in the underworld with pomegranate seeds. Throughout the book, there are references to the story of Persephone and Hates. Is that who I was? Hades himself, coveting springtime, stealing it, condemning it to endless night.” ― Stephenie Meyer, Midnight Sun Cliques and Insights “For just a second, I saw Persephone, pomegranate in hand.

Midnight Sun did a great job of setting up the beginning of New Moon when Edward leaves. I really liked seeing firsthand how Edward’s mind-reading abilities worked and how his communication with Alice and Carlisle worked. Midnight Sun is 150 pages longer than Twilight that means 30% more story and character development! That 30% gives us more insight into Edward’s thought process and his relationships with his family. To create something engaging and unique Stephenie Meyer had to crack open Edward’s mind unveiling his perspective of events. The plot was already locked into place by the original Twilight book written 15 years previously, and she couldn’t change that. Every line of dialogue and how the scene played out had to be identical. It is incredibly challenging to build up and create something new within the constraints of a pre-existing story. Meyer has earned some well-earned praise. “Perhaps romance always seemed a slightly foolish thing to everyone until one actually fell into it.” ― Stephenie Meyer, Midnight Sun Claps for Stephenie for Midnight Sun Magic Midnight Sun brings the original characters to life like none of her previous books or incarnations of this story. However, the thoughts and actions of the characters are delved into at a deeper level. That sounds weird since they have the same exact plot and dialogue. Midnight Sun is much better written and has stronger characters than the original Twilight book. I really liked seeing the growth of Stephenie as a writer. Whatever the reason for the stigma, I’m still a fan of the Twilight books. Truthfully it’s probably Kristen Stewart’s portrayal of Bella. This might be because of the movie or because of Stephenie’s early writing style. It feels like it was something childish that everyone now has to sweep under the rug and disavow to be an adult. I feel like there is a cultural stigma or push back against liking the Twilight books. To this day, I’m still a fan of these books.
