BREAKING DAWN
I have finished… Only, the end came far too soon. So I have put the saga away and as much as I’d like to just go back to normal (which means not thinking about the book or its characters at all), as I’m sure my husband and friends would greatly appreciate, I do miss being absolutely engrossed in this fantasy world where myth and magic mix so well with reality. And where absolutely anything is possible…
As for the “Twilight” saga, the fourth ( and the last) novel entitled “Breaking Dawn” was by far my favorite one, even though I didn’t think I was going to like it with the various perspectives introduced here. However, in the end it all made perfect sense and I really cannot imagine a better and more fitting way to describe the events that transpired in the last part of the saga.
Despite my falling in love with the realm of Bella and Edward, I am left frustrated and hungry for more. To satiate my immense curiosity, I searched the internet for the unfortunately unfinished novel, “Midnight Sun”, which takes us back to the beginning when Edward’s path crossed Bella’s. And here’s the twist—“Midnight Sun” tells the same story but from Edward’s perspective and thus makes it totally different (what, with his inhuman nature and the extra abilities) and a supplement, in a way, to the one Bella tells us in “Twilight’. So we get a whole new story. One that is absolutely phenomenal!
It is such as shame that Stephenie Meyer never got a chance to finish it (perhaps she had a plan to write all four novels from Edward’s perspective… Now, that would’ve been something! But we’ll never know, now will we?). And this is why I am left unsatisfied. Because the eleven chapters of “Midnight Sun” are the best chapters of the whole saga…
