I don’t recall any suggestion of their intelligence. Just that whenever Edward attempted to “read” her mind, he could never glean a single thought. It was a blank void.
spoiler alert
Within the Twilight world, some humans have special abilities which are highlighted and enhanced if they become vampires. He couldn't read Bella's thoughts, but that's because after she becomes a vampire they figure out she has a "shield" power which makes her immune to vampires with powers to effect the mind.
She had thoughts, he was just blocked from reading them.
This is the most interested in Twilight I have ever been!
It's like 5% actually interesting fantasy world building and 95% shitty romance.
I actually enjoyed that 5% but not enough to read or watch the other 95% again.
And fuck this thread for making me want to read it a second time! I already know it's garbage from the first time through!
Go watch Hunter: The Parenting, one of the side characters is a vampire wizard named Kevin, he has a wizard gun. Also watch or listen to the audio logs they're important, just not important enough to get fully animated most of the time.
I've heard good things about that one, meant to watch it a long time ago.
Honestly now is probably the best time to get into it. Lots of meat to sink your teeth into and setup for the next arc is being done while not being started yet.
They're easy reads. Meyer had some interesting ideas and inspirations to write a story, but the depth and quality isn't quite there. She's even commented that looking back at the earlier books made her cringe. The other place she suffered is that when publishers got their hands on the first book, she explained she just wanted one follow up book, but they talked her into stretching the story into 4 because they felt it was going to be a hit.
It's an easy comfort read that doesn't ask you to look for deeper meanings in the story, it's all right there for you.
