Biss zum Morgengrauen / Biss in alle Ewigkeit (Twilight)

It was intriguing to see how changing Bella and Edward's genders affected their dynamics and the story's tone. I wonder what prompted Stephenie Meyer to explore this variation.

The story's emotional stakes felt heightened with the gender swap, making the romantic and dangerous aspects stand out. How did others experience the paranormal side differently here?

Seeing the characters’ roles reversed made me think about how gender influences our perception of power and fear. Did anyone else notice this shift in perspective?
