Instead, Meyer begins her writing process by making a series of detailed decisions about the world and characters (explained in an incredibly comprehensive correspondence with fansite Twilight Lexicon) that dictate how her stories will manifest, without any concerns with messages and empowerment. Meyer insists that her novels were never intended to teach moral lessons. Though her work is undeniably influenced by her faith, the stranger aspects of Meyer's storytelling come from her commitment to a set of rules she creates for her world at the outset - and the practical implications of those rules, which she refuses to violate as her stories develop. Many have criticized Meyer's writings as strict, thinly veiled pieces of Mormon propaganda, but the truth is far more complicated. The Host stars Saoirse Ronan as Melanie Stryder, a young woman who becomes captured and infected by a parasitic alien called "Wanderer." As the two beings struggle for control within a single human body (and come to love two different men), the story tackles many of the same themes that Meyer explored in Twilight: Love, morality, and what it means to be human. Today's new film adaptation of The Host, Meyer's final remaining novel (and her only book set outside the Twilight universe), is likely to prove just as polarizing as her breakout. But when the Twilight Saga came to an end in November 2012 with the release of the series' last film, Breaking Dawn: Part 2, Meyer's fans and haters each put down their arms. Other first edition points for books by Stephenie Meyer include: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn.Over the course of the last decade, Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series has inspired a passion in its most devoted fans that is only rivaled by the passion of its detractors.
