Twilight Series!

[icelandelf]

I wasn't really happy with this book, but not becase of the lack of sex and violence. I thought there was too much back pedalling and rationalizing so that everyone, save the Volturri and Irina, got what they wanted.
I figured early on that the only way Bella would be changed would be for some life threatening event to happen so the baby was too easy a plot device so that Bella and Edward get to be immortal but PARENTS TOO! I never warmed to Renesmee, and totally agree that it is a stupid name. Shortening it to Nessie as a cute nickname only reenforced how silly I thought the name was.
I always thought of myself as a Team Edward girl, but through the course of the books I grew to really love Jacob. There were times that I wanted to slap him upside the head but I really loved him. The one great big thing that I did not love was him imprinting on Renesemee. I thought Meyer was throwing a red herring in the story when Bella continued to assume that she was carrying a boy. After reading the scene with Quil and Claire my ick factor started kicking in. I suspected that this was how Meyer would give everyone their happy ending.

All in all, this book didn't work for me. I adore the rest of the series, and I plan on rereading Breaking Dawn to see if my opinion changes. If it doesn't, this book isn't staying on my keeper shelf.
