Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer Book Review - Part 1

Back in one of the most iconic (vampire) love stories of all time - but is it all just for nostalgia's sake?  

I decided since this book is so massive to split up my review of it into two parts - mostly because I was afraid that I would misremember details of the story by the end of the book because it's so long! I'm currently on page 376 which is approximately 56% of the way finished with Midnight Sun - so it's safe to say I'm halfway there! 

Cracking open this mega brick sized book, I was excited to once again be immersed in the lush forest town of Forks. Eagerly, I dived back into the high-school romance story of Edward and Bella and wasn't surprised when it felt different this time around. In fact, two years ago I tried to reread the book that started it all, Twilight, but found myself so frustrated that the writing was nothing like I remembered (by that I mean the writing and dialogue was horrible and unpleasant to read). However, this blip didn't stop me from diving into this new novel with an open mind (and a whole lot of nostalgia) because I couldn't wait to read what Edward was thinking the entire time.

An adventurous tale with a somewhat unlikeable main character.

The story set in the 1700s follows British lord Henry 'Monty' Montague as he embarks on a great European Tour with his best friend Percy. Along the way the pair find themselves chased around by thugs, the royal guard and Monty standing naked in the middle of an aristocratic party in Paris?!

Even better than the first book, the Raven Cycle rules!

Maggie has done it again! I have to say I might like this book even more than the first one. Her stories and characters just keep on getting better and better.

Genuinely one of the best YA books of all time!

I first read this book back in March of 2018 and the first time around I thought the book was good but it didn't thrill me (I gave it a 4/5 stars though). So I put off reading the second book in the series until almost a year later in March 2019.
