JAKARTA - Twelve years have passed since the last Twilight series did not necessarily make Stephenie Meyer forget about the success of this story. Tuesday, May 5, the author announced the latest novel that is still part of the Twilight universe. It's just that this book, called Midnight Sun, is told from Edward Cullen's point of view.

Starting from a mysterious countdown teaser that appeared on Meyer's official website, the author has further clarified the presence of this book with a tweet. Previously, Midnight Sun was scheduled to be released after the novel Breaking Dawn. However, due to the leaked manuscript on the internet, Meyer decided to postpone the release and save the manuscript without re-editing it.

After more than a decade, Meyer took back the script and chose to keep releasing the novel publicly on August 4th. Like Pidi Baiq's Dilan, Midnight Sun will retell the meeting between Edward Cullen and Bella Swan which was taken from Cullen's point of view as a vampire. Of course this sounds interesting because so far readers have always heard the story of Twilight from the perspective of Bella Swan as a human.

In this story, Cullen, who is a vampire with a tormented soul, must fight against the reality of himself when he loves a human, the main prey of his family. He told how he felt when he met Bella for the first time at school and finally started a journey of love despite their family's opposition.

Unlike Twilight, which sounds more like a teenager, Midnight Sun will tell a darker side even though it will be labeled as a young adult genre. In addition to the changing target audience, the changing release schedule changes several different sides of the Twilight novel.

Regarding adaptation, Stephenie Meyer did not discuss this much. However, with the return of the Twilight story, fans can expect a lot about the film version. Moreover, the careers of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart went up because of their roles as Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. Both of them played the role from the first book to the last, but unfortunately, after the end of the Twilight story, their love relationship also ended.

Today, Pattinson and Stewart are known as actors and actresses with excellent acting skills even though they received ridicule when they played a vampire-human couple in the film Twilight.

Now, fans are starting to guess who deserves to play Cullen and Swan in the current era. Instead of arguing about choices, we better wait for the launch of the Midnight Sun book in three months.
