Curious what the pomegranate refers to

You read my mind! I was wondering the same thing so I looked it up. This is what I found, “…an open pomegranate is a reference to the seven pomegranate seeds that Persephone ate while she was underground, tying her existence to Hades. It’s also a callback to Twilight’s original cover, which featured a red apple of temptation.”

So glad you said it was a pomegranate, not sure how long it would’ve taken me to figure that out.

Didn’t she publish this years ago on her website and give it away to fans as an e-book? Is this different from the e-book that she already released free, years ago?

Yes she did release it, but I think you could only read it on her website.

I don’t think it’s any different, just released as a book.

That was only a partial story. Someone leaked it back then and she got extremely upset and said she would never finish it, but she posted what she had finished for fans at that time. I’m kinda glad she went back and onlinepleted it. I remember enjoying it a lot.

She started this one 12 years ago but paused because the books and movies became so popular. A small part was previously released. She finally got back to it when life slowed down.

It’s true the onlinement above! My memory was that she was too upset it leaked.

That was only part of it.. not the whole book

No, Stephanie Meyer didn’t release the book – someone close to her, on her staff, perhaps, took the first few chapters and put them on line.

No, it was only a few chapters. Robert Pattinson wanted to get more of a feel for why Edward was like he was and asked Stephanie Meyer for more information. At the time, she was working on an Edward point of view. I believe she had written a full manuscript, but only the first few chapters were really onlineplete. Someone got hold of the manuscript and released the entire thing online. She was super upset about it and she wound up posting just the first few onlinepleted chapters on her website. I think it got as far as the part when Edward left after the Biology incident when Bella walked in the classroom and her scent caught him off guard and he bolted for Denali.

OMG my internal fan girl heart just skipped a beat. I’m not-shamelessly going to read this! But sadly they probably can’t make a movie, at least not with the same cast.

Meh May 4, 2020 at 4:45 pm MST

So disappointed! I want to read her mermaid book she wrote, or the rest of the host.

Mendy May 4, 2020 at 6:06 pm MST

Hmm I agree kinda pricey🤨. I might wait for a sale lol. This is kinda the same concept when 50 shades of grey came out with the book from his perspective.

amanda-12 May 5, 2020 at 10:45 am MST

50 shades was a fan fiction of the Twilight saga the author of 50 shades denies it but hundreds of people read it and 50 shades is based on twilight.

Reply
Mel May 5, 2020 at 8:34 pm MST

50 Shades of Grey started as fanfiction piece called Master of the Universe. I was in the middle of reading it when it got pulled. The person that wrote the fanfiction got a book deal and had to rename the title as well as all the characters and get rid of anything that was Twilight related. because it was such a hot read, it got made into a movie pretty quickly to capitalize off those that knew it was based off the Twilight characters!

Books a Million has it for $25.19. I know Amazon price matches but sometimes I like to help other stores.
