2.0

I read this book first when I was really young and liked it a lot! I loved the romance and magic. However, upon rereading as an adult, the casual racism and body shaming is extremely difficult to ignore.
This book is only not 1 star because it has some good romantic moments and a fast moving plot with a strong sense of adventure.

This book contains statements about body image and weight that would be harmful to a young person. This book contains racist prose, focused on glorifying white people as the highest beauty standard.

I don't know how to rate these anymore...
In book 1 and 2 it was mainly Bella who was absolute bananas. This whole book is a complete madhouse. And frankly I myself feel like I'm going slightly crazy.
Anyhow. I was quite disappointed at the ending.

It felt like a lot of buildup for little to no climax. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it had a happy ending. I think the Cullen family deserves all the happiness in the world, so you won't hear me complain about that part. But a couple of fights, some people getting hurt wouldn't have been so bad? I'm sure some heart wrenching moments could've fit somewhere in there

I'm glad I read the whole series, because oooh boy, what a crazy ride. All there's left to do is read 'Midnight Sun' and reread the first book again (which is, in my humble opinion, the best book in the series).

I have so many thoughts. But mainly I just want to know - what the actual fuck was that.

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.
