[post_page_title]What is “Life and Death”, and what is “Midnight Sun”?[/post_page_title]
Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined is just what is sounds like. It’s basically a Twilight reboot, only with a gender swap. Instead of Bella, we have Beau Swan – a male teenager who moves in with his father in Forks. Instead of Edward, there’s Edythe Cullen. Published in 2015, the book received a lot of criticism for being, well, the exact same book as Twilight.
The Yorker even went as far as saying the “stench of a quick money-making scheme was quite potent.” Midnight Sun is an earlier project of Meyer’s, and it tells the story of Twilight (yes, again), from Edward’s point of view. Since parts of it were leaked online, she decided to stop working on it – but she still gets questions about it from fans who wish she would finish it. Did we really need more versions of Twilight? Probably not.
