I don’t even know where to start fr. This series was really good, I feel like the movies don’t do it justice I’m about to watch breaking dawn and I already know it’s gonna be some bs. Now lowkey I wish they fought kinda feel like it was a cop out but they had a happy ending so I can’t complain. I love how Jacob accepted the vampires. Everything came together so nicely and I’m just happy everything ended up working out. I’m curious how the baby is gonna grow up though
As good as I remembered it when it was released!
Bought this for my collection, great book
Bella has finally agreed to marry Edward and even allowed Alice free rein to throw them the fairy tale wedding of Alice’s dreams, because they certainly weren’t Bella’s. Bella wore the beautiful antique ring that belonged to Edward’s mother when they went to see Charlie to ask for his blessing. Charlie thought Bella’s mother would balk, but Renee said that Bella was born 40 years old.The wedding was wonderful and even the broken hearted Jacob came, calling himself Bella’s best man. Edward took Bella to honeymoon on a private island off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. Edward was more fearful of Bella’s first time than she was, as he feared injuring her, but that was the least of her problems. One day suddenly Bella was very ill and realized that if her husband wasn’t a vampire, she would think she was pregnant. She actually looked pregnant, and after calling Carlisle the newlyweds quickly returned home.The life growing inside of Bella took a terrible toll, but Carlisle was wise and helpful and Bella was stubborn and refused to give up her child. She believed Edward could save her as soon as the child was born. Jacob stayed near to keep her warm, and Bella was sad if he left her. There was a very important reason for that that no one truly understood until the child was born, but Edward was able to save Bella.Bella is a special newborn vampire in that she has intelligent self-control that was previously unknown to anyone in the Cullen household. She even hid the pain of her transformation so that Edward wouldn’t suffer watching his wife’s pain.Then there is more miracle that we don’t want to spoil for the entire book, although almost everyone has seen the movies.This was an amazingly imaginative vampire story. The first book was a lot of young romance and the second was drama, the third was the heartbreaker. This book is where everything comes together and you can see it all set in motion almost like fate. Do people have fated love? Is there someone perfect out there for everyone and not all of us are blessed with finding them? This story is about more than one fated love, and about how sometimes the least interesting person can be the most interesting person. Maybe the most important thing this story is about is family and how important the people we love are, and how vital they are to weaving strength and color into the tapestries of our lives. This was a good series and deserved the success it received.
I feel the best books of the twilight series are the last two, in between the two the conclusion is the best of the series. this is because in the last book of the series Bella is not so much of a blank slate as she was in the first two books. Where her obsession with Edward and his flawless face was annoying because it distracted from having any real meat to the story in the last two books we see her world expand. She becomes a much more sympathetic protagonist to a hero in the last book. We see traits of a personality come out that make her stronger and deeper. When this happens The Love Story actually becomes interesting rather than annoying.It takes some patience for readers who are not 14 to 15 year old girls to get to the last books. The first two books are clearly aimed towards those age groups. For older young adults they would be a lot of cussing and much more sensuality.. For the most part it is a very clean book series with a chaste love it doesn't go beyond kissing for the first three books. In the last book the sensuality is increased slightly to the point that you know what is going on but there's no graphic description outside of metaphors and feelings. The series is still aim toward the younger crowd and really is more of a introduction for young readers in to the genre.The ending of the book series feels somewhat appropriate for what it is. The series as a whole is not full of action or real danger. Everything that occurs that puts a protagonist into danger seems to come about through happenstance, accident, or misunderstanding. There's no real consistent or engaging antagonist to the series. For the majority of the story those that would be considered the antagonist make brief appearances that for the most part last a chapter or less. The danger happens and then it is over. This last book will promise a real rough and tumble ending but deliver something much more poignant if a bit less satisfying for readers of other genres.Stephenie Meyer still makes it complex and interesting while ending her series on a strong note that makes me wish that she continued to write in this world. I have yet to read The Chemist but I have read The Host, her gender swap version of twilight, and of course The Short Life of Bree Tanner. I found that she has improved in her skill and her stories are much more engaging. In her gender swap story she managed to make the character that took the place of Bella who is named Beau into a more rounded character an interesting personality. The character of Edyth who took the place of Edward also felt more dangerous and complex. While in The Host she still had a love triangle at least it had a twist that made it interesting. It felt real and both the protagonist in the story we're so sympathetic that punch you right in the feels.Why the twilight series may not be my cup of tea necessarily it is well written and so long as I acknowledge it for what it is and who the target audience actually was the story is quite enjoyable. it is a good story and series to read for those who want to expand their palate or just to come away with their own opinion about the series rather than hearing others. Stephenie Meyer's wanted to write a love story in the first book that was about the obsession of first love with some paranormal traits within it. It was targeted towards younger girls and was written to their level. As a series progressed Stephanie Meyers wrote the story to an increasingly more mature audience as the characters grew and the audience expanded.I will say for writers or aspiring writers Stephanie Meyers does have a style that is very clear and draws the reader in. In the first two stories she did leave Bella as a blank slate making it easier for the reader to slip into her shoes but also making the character more of an outline than an actual person. Depending upon the genre and the audience this can work and it's interesting to see even if it's not necessarily enjoyed.
