This is by far the worst book of the saga. It’s the

surprise pregnancy

trope for me. I hate that this was a plot point at all, much less

Jacob’s imprinting on Renesmee

. The book always feels disjointed and jarring as it pulled from conflict to conflict. I’d love to pretend that the saga ends with the Honeymoon, but Stephenie Meyer wants me stressed every time I reread this series. Edward has a soul, but Stephenie Meyer absolutely does not.

I love the twilight series in an ironic way. The characters hardly have any development over the saga, the plot is confusing, but the dialogue and inconsistencies are so funny.

the first part from Bella to Jacobs was boring and really long. But Bella's second part was actually really not that bad.

 like visiting an old friend you still love but don’t vibe with as much anymore.

I needed something to get me out of a slump and this was the first thing that popped out to me. One of those ‘so bad I love it’ type of books. Brought me back to being 15 and waaayyy too invested.

I loved the entire series and i would recommend it. The book overall could have been a little bit better, especially the ending spoiler>The battle scene was meh and I wanted to know what happened with Renesmee and Jacob later on. If you loved the other books you'll probably love this one.
