Breaking dawn by Stephenie Meyer

When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?


In this irritatingly slow-moving, yet compelling finale to the Twilight Saga, Bella has made the decision to marry Edward and join the world of immortals, despite Jacob’s love for her. But her decision sets in motion devastating consequences that even Alice is unable to foresee and none of them are prepared for; consequences that will reverberate across the immortal world.

This concluding book is somewhat of a let down. So intent on giving Bella and Edward the happiness they deserve, this final volume pales against the intense feelings of romance, temptation, loss and strife in the previous three volumes. Ending with too much plot, too fast, and the love triangle between human, vampire and werewolf, bitter enemies for generations, too easily resolved.

Part of my 100+ book challenge

Totally agree on all points. I think later when I've had a chance to calm down over this series, I'd love to go back and try this book again. My expectations were too high when this book came out.
