Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer
The Twilight Saga, Book 4
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (August 2008)
769 pages, eBook (purchased myself for $8.99)
Book Rating: 4 Stars
Content Note: Includes Implied Sexual Situations
Having made her decision, this fourth and final book in the series follows Bella through her wedding, honeymoon and the events that lead to the inevitable standoff in the end with the Volturi. This book, in a departure of style from the others, is divided into three parts, the second of which is written from Jacob’s point of view instead of Bella’s. Happily Jacob’s situation and unhappiness are resolved in the first half of the book, leaving the second half to deal almost entirely with the preparations for and the confrontation with the Volturi. Though a bit disturbed and annoyed by Bella’s preoccupation with sex in this one, for the most part I enjoyed the characters a lot more because they were for once largely happy. It was neat to meet all the varied vampires who came to witness for the Cullens and the best part was definitely Bella saving the day in the end, despite her being portrayed as the weakest, most helpless character throughout the series. Wonderful ending, and perhaps one day we might get further companion novellas, like Renesmee and Jacob’s story, or the unfinished Midnight Sun could be resurrected! Engaging series!
