The gift of opportunity can take precedence over any studied formula for success. But sometimes the opportunity marks inscrutable paths. Timeliness in the publishing industry tends to lead to overexploitation and attrition. Stephenie Meyer He found in the Twilight saga a vein in which to pour his creative vein with that security that comes from having absolute loyalty from readers and criticism accompanied by the editorial commitment.
The problem is when one the change of registry is considered. Something very natural in a creative spirit, on the other hand. At that moment in which you decide to take a new direction, it may happen that the new audience in which you seek acceptance has stigmatized you and the usual readers feel disappointed.
But change is necessary to feel that fruitful evolution that takes the writer out of an increasingly suffocating scenario. And Stephenie Meyer recently decided to swerve down her one-way path to try to survive her work. Something that we may also see in a JK Rowling whose ascent to the top seems endless with his Harry Potter.
The point is that Meyer's vampire saga has its point. The eroticism of vampirism even links to the dreamlike as a symbol of our civilization. And that of the eternity of the "bad dead" and the contrast with the youth of the characters awakens intense sensations...
But it was so easy to associate his work with youth and adolescence, with the naive and the predictable, that in the end getting out of there was a necessity. After some more or less relevant attempt with her novel Host, the emergence of Meyer transformed into another type of writer came with her novel Chemistry, an already remarkable work in a genre that shares the dark scenography of the vampire but towards a thriller already for adult readers.
Top 3 Recommended Books By Stephenie Meyer
Chemistry
Stephenie Meyer has manifested herself as a brave writer who seeks more her own evolution as a writer than the simple contentment of her previous readers.
The Twilight Saga was a commercial literary milestone for teenagers. And the intention to instill reading in young people is welcome. But Chemistry book it is something else.
With Chemistry, Stephenie presents us with a more mature work. An espionage thriller that, although it maintains certain links with her stage as a writer of juvenile literature, contains all the ingredients to consider it a more than remarkable novel for adults, between the mystery and police genres.
A former US government agent tries to live unrelated to her previous job as a spy in a secret organization of the US intelligence services. His hectic journey to achieve his freedom is reminiscent of the movies of Jason Bourne.
However, Stephenie goes out of her way to always present us with surprising scenarios linked in a very lively plot that captivates from the beginning. The protagonist has a bizarre option to gain her freedom.
He knows that the price can be expensive, but he never imagined how much he would have to lose... Common condiments such as love, violence, technology and wonderful abilities, in this case of the protagonist, make this book La Química an extremely entertaining novel. addictive
The host
The first escape valve among his stories of palatable young blood. And nothing better than running away from yourself through a science fiction story.
Under the idea of an alien invasion carried out from the occupation of the human mind (in the way of the dreamcatcher of Stephen King but in a less sinister way), we approach the particular case of Melanie Stryder, a woman whose mental accommodation is not comfortable for her invader Wanderer.
Melanie's residual human sensations are affecting the Wanderer himself who discovers in the human an amalgam of interesting sensations to which he succumbs like an unexpected drug.
Melanie's intense love for Jared is a fundamental point of support for that chink of human will to fight against Wanderer's occupation. And it is not that Wanderer, his alien presence gives up, but somehow he will be moved towards the resolution of that powerful unbeatable force of love.
A story that encapsulates large components of action through the most intense human drives, capable even of changing the destiny foreseen by a superior intelligence, arriving from distant spaces.
Twilight
If an adult reader has to review any of the novels of the Twilight saga, they will undoubtedly opt for the first one, the one that best conveys an original idea exploited later in sagas that abound in the same.
Isabella Swan, with her name that already evokes the romantic, meets an irresistible and magnetic Edward Cullen. The encounter occurs with that chance of fate that moves her to the remote town of Forks. The problem is that Edward feels the same magnetism for Isabella.
They are both young, only Edward from a strange and dark perspective, that of his nature of being nocturnal and immortal. The dilemma between the explosive life of youth versus the strange magnet of danger and death.
Eroticism pointing towards a youthful orgasm made bite and blood, the petite death in contrast to that youth that can do everything and that therefore looks out fearlessly into the abyss. Let's see it like this before succumbing to the commercial point that acquired the work and its sequels ...
