The Book:

No one survived the last battle unscathed. Flint is angry at the world, Jaxon is turning into something I don’t recognize, and Hudson has put up a wall I’m not sure I’ll ever break through.

Now war is coming, and we’re not ready. We’re going to need an army to have any hope of winning. But first, there are questions about my ancestors that need answers. Answers that might just reveal who the realmonster is among us.

And that’s saying something in a world filled with bloodthirsty vampires, immortal gargoyles, and an ancient battle between two gods.

There’s no guarantee that anyone will be left standing when the dust settles, but if we want to save this world, I have no choice. I’ll have to embrace every part of me…even the parts I fear the most.

Don’t miss a single book in the series that spawned a phenomenon! The Crave series is best enjoyed in order:
Crave
Crush
Covet
Court
Charm
Cherish

Little late on this review as I wanted to reread this entire series before I got to court. This is one of my favorite guilty pleasure, feel good reads. I enjoy all the characters and banter they bring. I love all the different students and supernatural creatures that go to the Academy.

Now, Court was amazing. We finally got some answers to questions that were brought up in book 1!! Not only are questions finally being answered, but we get to meet a group of new people that I absolutely adore, and old friends from previous books we haven’t seen in a bit. The characters in court are well written and fleshed out decently.

The plot of these books hook me. There is always this one thing the kids are trying to achieve, and it leads them in separate quests to get there. I am a big fan of quest based plots so these really work for me. I love how it all makes sense as well, nothing is just thrown in for fluff.

This book also introduces our first non binary character, and I love them. They are like a big mystery rolled into one. Always surprising the group with skills they weren’t aware they had.

Anyway, I feel like I could talk about this series forever. Is it amazingly written…. No, but is it my favorite feel good read…. Absolutely. I can not wait until Charm and to see what happens next.

5 Stars!

With Love,

“People do not want to just read Meyer’s books; they want to climb inside them and live there.” — Time“A literary phenomenon.” — The New York Times

The Author:

Stephanie Meyer

Stephenie Meyer is the author of the #1 bestselling Twilight Saga, The Host, and The Chemist. Twilight has enraptured millions of readers since its publication in 2005 and has become a modern classic, redefining genres within young adult literature and inspiring a phenomenon that has had readers yearning for more. The series has sold 160 million copies worldwide and was made into five blockbuster feature films. Stephenie lives in Arizona with her husband. Her website is stepheniemeyer.com.

First, I am going to start off by saying I have been a die hard Twilight fan since my early 20s. The reasoning is complicated, but long story short it gave me an escape when I needed it so badly. No joke, I have read the Saga 18 times, working on 19 now.

The wait for Midnight Sun has been over a decade and I have to say, I wasn’t expecting its release ever. I was so bummed when the first quarter of it was leaked and Stephanie decided to shelf it for awhile. When I found out it was finally being released I thought it was a hoax haha. Needless to say I bought it, listened to it, and of course loved it!

I was not expecting Midnight Sun to be as long as it was, Twilight being one of the shorter of the Saga, but I wasn’t mad. Not only do we see everything from Edwards perspective, but we get so much more insight on everyone! Obviously because Edward can read thoughts.

I think my absolute favorite thing in this book is you really get to see how amazing Edward and Alice work together with their gifts. Also, seeing Alices gifts first hand through Edwards mind is a huge bonus. Not to mention, how much Jasper gravitated towards Bella, and how carefree our dear Emmett is.

I love how this book dives deeper into Edwards hate for what he is, and even being in Bella’s life. In my opinion it also makes Bella more adoring. Which let’s be honest, she seems quite boring in the other books haha.

I was extremely excited to see the workings of Bella’s Dad and Moms minds also, to see what types of minds created Bella’s gifts. Now I am sure Charlie is a shield like Bella, just not as powerful, but I am so curious to see what Reneas gifts would be if she was turned. I will not give my reasonings, because I don’t want any spoilers lol. Anyway, Love love love this book!!

If you know me at all, you wouldn’t expect anything less. 🙂
