Slogged my way through the finale... Next time I get the itch to read this series... I'll stick with the audio book. 😂

I LOVE Twilight don’t get me wrong. My all time favorite movies, but the reason is because of nostalgia and that they are so bad. And the books are definitely not an exception. First of all, I would have liked to see more anger from Bella when it comes to Jacob and Renesme. Secondly, they state that it’s purerly platonic but why does Edward than say something like “Goodbye my friend, brother… son”?!?! DISGUSTING!!!

There wasn’t a fight in the end either which is a major buzzkill. You have this collection of powerful vampires with special abilities and only ONE dies (as an execution). Disappointing!!!

This book was literally PAINFUL to read. I'm speechless when I think that these juvenile, pathetic characters were created by an ADULT WOMAN.

Do yourself a favor. SKIP THIS WHOLE SERIES. I'll never get the hours of my life back.

The final volume in the Twilight Saga was a page turner. There were only a handful of things that I expected and even those happened with an odd little twist. Bella seems to get all she wished for, and then some. Edward and Bella become protectors of a strange little being that no one knew could even exist. The animosity and rivalry between Jake and Edward evaporates as he finds his place with the strange little creature. We see the return of the Volturi and through this situation learn the full extent of the types of devastating special abilities that tend to pop up among the vampires. And the biggest surprise of all is the Bella herself has.
This series just moved up a level because of this book. It went from mediocre, but entertaining, to suspenseful and so interesting that I read this 754 page book in one afternoon.
