Coming into this book, I didn’t have really high expectations. They were there, but I was mostly thinking Twilight in Edward’s POV would be interesting. And it was, but it was so much better than I could have imagined!

Edward is very much an overthinker, but it didn’t bother or bore me one bit. I Loved seeing into his mind, seeing his thought process, feeling everything he felt. It was overwhelming and heartbreaking, and painful, and beautiful, and euphoric. He’s very analytical and reasonable. He doesn’t make rash decisions, and when his vampiric bloodthirsty nature threatens to take over, he somehow finds the willpower to supress it until he’s able to get a better control over it.

I don’t think we (at least I) realized how hard it was for him to not kill Bella, during so many different episodes. His struggle is tremendous, which makes his success in not succumbing to the monster even more triumphant and incredible. I love Edward more through this POV than in Twilight through Bella’s eyes. I was able to empathize with him more, with his distaste of himself and that he is so wrong for Bella. But oh how I wanted him to be immersed in this love story and find his happiness.

Bella and Edward’s love story in Twilight made me believe in love. And their love story in Midnight Sun made me believe in it even more. I even loved Bella more in MS. She seemed less average and boring because I saw all the true reasonings behind why Edward loved her so much, and it is beautiful!

Bella and Edward are so alike in that they don’t like themselves and they find themselves unworthy of the other’s love and affection. Maybe that’s why they work so well together, because they’re always trying to prove that the other is worthy of so much love, and so they do everything in their power to show that love.

When Bella went to find James and Edward was frantic to get to her, my heart was breaking for him. The entire scene, from when the vampire nomads show up to the baseball game, till Bella is safe in the hostpital, I was so anxious and worried. I knew what would happen obviously, but seeing it through Edward’s eyes, the horror, the pure panic, racing with all his might to get to her, gosh, my heart was hurting and I could not put the book down.

I want to see more of Edward’s POV. But I know Meyer said she won’t, since being inside Edward’s head was depressing. And it is, but maybe that’s why I connect to him so much. However, I would not like Edward’s POV during the stupid love triangle. So I guess I want the beginning and ending of New Moon, and most of Eclipse (skipping over scenes with Jacob). And then most of Breaking Dawn. ESPECIALLY the wedding! If nothing else, I hope Meyer writes the wedding scene in his POV. That would at least be incredibly happy and beautiful.

I loved this book so much. I’m actually surprised by how much I loved it, but there it is. I’ll definitely need to reread it soon.
