Book Review: Midnight Sun (Book #5 in the Twilight Saga) by Stephenie Meyer
Right off the bat, I have to admit that Midnight Sun is definitely a very tricky book for me to review; mainly because I’ve always had very complicated feelings about Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga. Plus, while I don’t think that Midnight Sun itself is perfect, I still loved this book in a guilty pleasure sense; and this book, and the Twilight Saga as a whole, definitely puts the “guilty” in “guilty pleasure”. I have to admit that a part of me had definitely given up hope years ago that Stephenie Meyer would ever finish writing Midnight Sun and publish it; so, I was very surprised when it was announced that not only had she finished writing it, she was also announcing the book’s release date (8/4/20). That being said, after having actually read Midnight Sun, I definitely think that this book was worth the wait.
While it has been, I honestly don’t even know how many years, since the last time I read Twilight (The Book), I did read Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined when the tenth anniversary edition of Twilight was released in 2015; so, I’m not entirely sure how much Midnight Sun compares to Twilight in terms of plot details and character development. That being said, I still thought that Meyer did a great job of adding new material and insight into all of the characters; especially when it came to Edward, and the other members of the Cullen family. Even for supporting characters, I’ve always thought that Edward’s family members were underdeveloped and underutilized characters in the main part of the Twilight Saga. That being said, I really felt like Meyer did a great job of using Midnight Sun as an opportunity to give the Cullen family some more character development, and offered the readers some more insight into them as characters. It was definitely a lot of fun to see a lot of interactions between Edward and the other members of the Cullen family in this book. Admittedly, I had been kind of worried that Midnight Sun would end up being a major rehash of Twilight, only written from Edward’s point of view. Thankfully, I ultimately don’t think that was the case. Meyer definitely did a great job of providing longtime fans of the Twilight series new insight into the events that take place in the first book in the series, as well as some great new insight into Edward as a character.

Book Review: The Memory of Souls (Book #3 in the A Chorus of Dragons series) by Jenn Lyons (Spoilers)
While I admittedly thought that Lyons stumbled a little bit with The Name of All Things, The Memory of Souls was definitely a return to form that got back to the things that had immediately made me fall in love with the A Chorus of Dragons series when I read The Ruin of Kings. For starters, it was great to see the focus of the series be back on Kihrin in this book after being sidelined by Janel and Qown in The Name of All Things. That being said, a variety of great new characters were introduced in The Memory of Souls, and I ultimately thought that Lyons did a much better job of introducing the new P.O.V. characters and featuring them in this book and incorporating them into the storylines that have been taking place throughout the course of the series so far than she did with introducing Janel and Qown in The Name of All Things.
When it comes to my thoughts on the characters that were either introduced for the first time in this book, or were featured as a P.O.V. character for the first time in this book after having been previously introduced earlier in the series; I would say that Teraeth is definitely my favorite out of all the new P.O.V. characters in this book. I thought that Lyons definitely did a fantastic job of using Teraeth’s chapters as an opportunity to further develop him as a character, and his relationship with Kihrin in this book. Plus, I felt like the interactions between Teraeth and Kihrin really enhanced the overall emotional tone of The Memory of Souls.
