Basically, he doesn't want, and I quote, 'some aggravating and delicious nobody' to ruin everything he and his family have built. The only thing that stops him is the fact that he doesn't want to become a monster or let down his vampire dad, Carlisle. Most of them involve killing everyone in the room. He spends the rest of the period having elaborate fantasies about how he could get away with drinking her blood. There was no image violent enough to encompass the force of what happened to me in that moment.' Edward discovers just how irresistible she is to him when she sits next to him in biology: 'Her scent hit me like a battering ram, like an exploding grenade. In this early chapter, we see them all bored at school and/or concerned about Jasper, who is suffering in a different way from the rest of them: As a relative newbie to their nonhuman diet, he is very, very hungry.īut we quickly move on from Jasper's desire to eat everyone in sight to Edward's newfound desire to eat one human in particular: Bella. Edward's siblings are generally more interesting than Edward himself. The other highlight of the book is the extra time we get with the Cullen family. But he's not as interested in Bella as the 'generically popular Mike Newton' is, and I'll take this moment to note that one of the best parts of Midnight Sun is Edward's unending loathing toward the walking human oatmeal that is Mike Newton. They're all excited about a 'very unexceptional human girl' (lol) with 'an unremarkable human face' (DRAG HER), and Edward is just so above it all, although he is curious when he realizes that he can't hear her thoughts. Apparently, being able to hear the thoughts of literally everyone around him doesn't even make it interesting, because humans are boring. Relatable!Īnd because he's an overdramatic angsty boi, he waxes on about how high school is basically his purgatory and he can't even sleep through it. Midnight Sun opens with Edward painfully bored at school.
