Twilight Saga Character Guide

Midnight Sun is a companion novel to the book Twilight by author Stephenie Meyer. It is a retelling of the events of Twilight from the perspective of Edward Cullen as opposed to that of Bella Swan.
It started as a simple character exercise, with a single chapter from Edward's perspective, but Meyer came to realize she had to write an entire book from Edward's perspective. Meyer has stated that Twilight is the only possible book from the series that she plans to rewrite from Edward's perspective.
To give them a better feel of Edward's character, Meyer allowed Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the film adaptation of Twilight, and Robert Pattinson, the actor who plays Edward, to read some completed chapters of the novel while they were filming the movie. Midnight Sun allows you to know more about the Cullens.
In May 2020, despite previously abandoning the manuscript, Meyer announced the release date of Midnight Sun. It was published on August 4, 2020.
