Of course, neither does their love-at-first-sight complex, but I’ve made it clear previously I don’t enjoy that dynamic either. His whole spiel about her perfections doesn’t cut it for me. Even the few scenes Meyer added where he interacts with his family, much of them come across rushed and undeveloped.Įven if she had just added more information about why Edward loves Bella, I would have been happier. We just barely glazed over anything added. I’ve heard rumors that Midnight Sun ends up going into more detail about his past, but I’m thirteen chapters in and there hasn’t been much new information about him and his family. I would also love it if Stephanie Meyer answered my questions about Edward. I have so many questions and very few answers. But had it really never happened? Why not? What would they have found if they did? What processes does the body undergo during the change? Can they really subsist off of an animal diet or does it negatively impact them? What do their brains look like? Can you tell when they have gifts? Can we replicate the change in other humans without vampire involvement? Can we replicate immortal strength? Why can’t they process food? Are no vampires scientists? Within the last one hundred to two hundred years, vampires would have had the chance to change at least one person interested in the science behind vampirism. When Edward was discussing how he couldn’t be sure that their vegetarian diet was the perfect alternative to human blood, I did find myself asking new questions about the Twilight Universe that I had never really asked before. He makes all the calls – his speeches about her choices notwithstanding. His behavior is manipulative, constantly trying to keep her calm or incite specific reactions. Bella isn’t on the same level footing as Edward is. Even when Edward is trying to show that he cares about Bella, it comes off as a parent making the best decisions to protect their child or some other unbalanced relationship. I was hoping the development of Midnight Sun would benefit his character development, but everything I’ve read so far is to his detriment. He always comes across as very condescending, creepy, and just plain old unsettling. I also didn’t enjoy most of Edward’s internal dialogue these past few chapters.
The options are unlimited! Anything would have been more interesting than “Bella is just super duper special.” If all myths are true, then why not that one? Or, vice versa, it could have been something that Charlie and Bella’s ancestors had developed over time, as a defense to vampires. She could have included some other type of mythical creature. She has some type of strange genetic trait.Īnd imagine the places Meyer could have taken that trait! She could have followed the same mindframe as other mythical books and made Bella part fairy. His thoughts are more off limits than anyone’s except for her’s. Why didn’t Edward tell her that it was an inherited trait? He can’t really understand Charlie to the same extent he understands everyone else either. When Edward tells Bella he thinks her mind runs on a different frequency, she thinks she’s a freak. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise a day later.Īlthough, I’ve got to say: I am confused about a different part of their interaction. I wish Meyer had included a little bit of new information to pique my interest.Įven the stuff with the waitress was just stupid. Yeah, I guess it should be interested, but I don’t know if it actually is. Like, yes, I know that Edward’s a mind reading vampire. I’ve heard the answers before in Twilight so I really didn’t find them all that interesting. In chapter ten, Edward and Bella are right in the middle of Bella asking him questions about being a vampire. It’s kind of boring, if anything.īut let’s start from the beginning of the section before I get too far ahead of myself. There’s just not a lot going on right now in the book itself. I still feel the same way as I have in previous reviews.
The past few chapters haven’t been the most interesting for me to discuss. Is it read-worth? I’m going to be candid with you: A lot of what I’m going to say in this review isn’t new information.
