About this listen

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 and brings us an epic novel about the profound pleasures and devastating consequences of immortal love.

What the critics say

"For ardent fans of the star-crossed couple, [Midnight Sun] offers a more richly detailed view of Forks, Wash., and its inhabitants, undead and otherwise." (The New York Times)

"[Midnight Sun] is more complex, more sophisticated and less innocent than Twilight. Although it was Bella's story that launched more than a decade's worth of young adult sci-fi and dystopian heroines, it turns out the narrative power - and compelling internal drama - was on Edward's side all along." (Time)

"Stephenie Meyer's Midnight Sun brings about a long-awaited consummation. It's not a climactic moment between teenager Bella Swan and the gorgeous vampire Edward Cullen but a consummation that reconnects Ms. Meyer with her vast and hungry audience.... Will gratify devotees." (The Wall Street Journal)

10 all across the board

It was like I was in high school again, listening to the story of twilight for the first time. Just enough familiarity to make it nostalgic, but so much new perspective that you fall in love with the characters again.

A great study of Edwards Perspective

My friend and I did a book club read along for this and treated it as a character study of Edward and the Cullen's and we had a great time! The characters have their toxic flaws but getting more info and lore tied with it and it was great to come back to forks.

worth the listen if you loved the twilight saga!

Honestly I loved the book! I was hooked from the first page on. I listened to all 25 hours in under a week. It was awesome to hear Edwards point of view and his inner thoughts. Although, he did give me some Joe Golberg vibes which made him seem a bit stalkerish at times. In twilight you never got to see how much Edward really followed and watched Bellas every move. I do see why he did it though. haha
I also think that Stephanie Meyers really stepped up the game with this book, her writing has evolved and is that much better than in twilight.
I recommend this book to anyone who has read twilight!

Up and Down

As anticipated as this was for me. I ended up finding it hard to get through passed the halfway point. Mostly, it was because of this being repeated events and as I got more reminded of it from Twilight, the retelling wasn't as great for me. the saving grace of it was the way quite a few of them were described by Edward's mind. It did make the read worth it.

I prefer this more!!

I want to dig deeper into Edward's perspective. I would like to understand more of his emotions and thought process during moments like when he left Bella, their marriage, and especially when Bella became pregnant. And her becoming a vampire!! I wish there was more of this, to have another version of the books but only to Edward’s perspective.
