The Twilight saga, which follows teenage Bella Swan’s romance with Edward Cullen, a century-old vampire, turned into a multimillion-dollar brand following the first book’s release in 2005, producing five movies and millions of devotees around the world, many of whom have been clamoring for “Midnight Sun.” Because of all the time that’s passed, they’ve built up in their minds what they thought it was going to be, and so no one can live up to those kinds of expectations.” “I’m pretty sure people aren’t going to get exactly what they think they’re getting. “That’s really flattering but also nerve-racking,” Meyer said in an interview last month. She had hoped for a low-key release, but when she announced the publication date in May, so many of them flocked to her website that it quickly crashed. Now, more than a decade later, her legions of fans will finally be able to read it. She put the book on hold after several chapters leaked online in 2008.
