Episode 186: Here's What You're Gonna Do
🕑 Added 2022-09-21 14:00:08 +0000 UTCTwilight chapter 'An Impasse'/Midnight Sun chapters 'Chores', 'Three Conversations', 'Inevitability'
We've got a mystery on our hands! We open this week's episode with a discussion of the theory circulating on book blogs that a newly released novel--teased as being written under a pseudonym by a "New York Times bestselling author"--might be an undercover Meyer novel. After that, we have a lot of chapters to get through. Technically, the end of the books, since the next chapters are epilogues? But not really, those look like they're just real chapters. Anyway, these chapters are a real roller-coaster ride, and feature some of the most striking differences and additions in Midnight Sun for better and worse. We've got reverse heist movie antics, bizarre deep lore reveals, and Bella entering her most toxic era yet!

I don’t know how we’re meant to read Edward praying to “Bella’s God”. I don’t know how intentional Edward projecting his own religious feelings is because I think we Meyer might just expect us to assume that Bella is a Christian. It’s partly because Meyer had a very religious upbringing, but I think it also might be a generational thing. Either way I think there’s kind of an assumption that readers will just assume a character is a Christian unless stated otherwise. It’s kind of like when Harry put a cross on Dobby’s grave.
