I won't bother reviewing this book, because it's essentially the same as Twilight and I've already written a review for that. Just swap around the pronouns in your head as you read it. So let's talk about the ending. This part will have spoilers beyond this point. This is your one and only warning.

Stephenie Meyer was supposed to swap the genders, not turn Beau into a girl. Ctrl+F "She" replace with "He" In addition, I had a pretty big issue was the amount of reused material.

In Life and Death the threat of sexual violence is gone altogether. Beau is cornered by a group of thugs (both male and female) who believe him to be an undercover cop and pull a gun on him. They threaten to rob and shoot him, but any indication of sexual violence is nonexistent. Edythe comes to the rescue, and like Edward, she too is furious at what almost happened, but her fury seems to be more easily "contained" and "calmed" by Beau, rather than Edward who can't stop muttering about the "filthy things they were thinking".

Retrieved March 27, 2019.One could argue that Meyer wrote a more progressive version of Twilight with Life and Death and that's partly true to an extent. Edythe does appear to try to make her relationship with Beau as equal as possible.

I’m not going to lie – I found it hard to get on-board with his character. Beau just came across as a Sad Boi™. But, as the story progressed I noticed that, unlike Bella, Beau’s a little more self-aware. He didn’t tolerate any crap from the cafeteria crowd, especially from Jeremy/Jessica. Actually, Jeremy/Jessica was a lot less civil in Life and Death and Logan/Lauren was a straight-up savage but we always hated her. I also appreciated that Beau was more aware of his obsessive infatuation with Edythe.

The Twilight saga will always hold a special place in my heart, but this book- ugh. As a super fan I hate to say this, but it wasn’t great for me. The concept could have worked, but I honestly felt like the author took out all the names, replaced them, changed a few itty bitty things and called it a day. This is not a retelling of Twilight, this IS Twilight. If I wanted to re-read Twilight, I would have done that. I’m just sad I spent my whole reading Saturday on a re-read… I was disappointed that the characters didn’t have many changes besides the names. I wanted more development. The ending was drastically changed, and honestly I don’t think I liked the way it ended. She's also criticized for being too consumed with her love interest, as if that's somehow just a girl thing. (That's NOT what we said, Meyer.) But I've always maintained that it would have made no difference if the human were male and the vampire female - it's still the same story. Gender and species aside, Twilight has always been a story about the magic and obsession and the frenzy of first love. So I thought to myself, Well, what if I put that to the test?" Now that is not to say I wanted to see men get rape in Life and Death. It's just a glaring problem where I now see those scenes as "Literary Rape," used as plot devices to add depth and sympathy to Rosalie's character, and to give Edward a reason to look super heroic in the face of rapists. Maggie Stiefvater said it best in This is a Post About Literary Rape: This change also does not mean that I prefer it to the original or think that the original was ‘wrong,’” writes Meyer. “This has always just been the big ‘What if?’ and I wanted to see what it would feel like if Twilight had been the end of the story. If, like Beau, Bella had left the airport just five minutes earlier.” To me, this ending was a fun What If story. If she could have re-imagined the whole thing, instead of just (mostly) changing pronouns, I would have been happy.Beau did SO many things that would make sense as a girl (aka as Bella), but since he was a man, those actions no longer made sense.

In some ways it's interesting. It's interesting to explore this possibility: what if Bella had been turned then and there after James bit her? As we see, the dynamic is certainly different, but in other ways, it feels very...anti-climatic. Even to the point of being downright depressing. Wheadon, Carrie R. (11 October 2015).

It's mostly the exact same plot as the original Twilight (with some major changes as well 👀) but the less dramatic narration made this a lot more legitimately enjoyable. The other characters were pretty much just as they were before, though I REALLY liked Archie, the male version of Alice. He was honestly pretty great.Bella swings by Edythe's house to get some help with dancing, only to run into her long-time crush and Edythe's older sister, Carine. Fortunately for her, Carine is very willing to help her out. Series So, picture a book whose premise is that all dogs are cats and all cats are dogs. Flipping species.
