Breaking Dawn

Meyer, Stephenie. Breaking Dawn. New York City: Little, Brown and Company, 2008. 754 pages. (Vampires/Romance/Thriller)

Bella Swan has given up her normal human life to join the world of the supernatural. Edward Cullen, the love of her life, has convinced her to marry him, much to her dismay. But she has not agreed without a compromise. As soon as they are married, he has to fill his side of the bargain. With the wedding days away, Bella can’t help but worry what this event will do to her forever best friend, Jacob Black. As she walks down the staircase, train trailing behind her, she is symbolically leaving behind her old life to join the Cullens. The night couldn’t get any more perfect, when Jacob shows up, painful as it is. Thanks to Bella’s big mouth, the moment of perfection is ruined and she sinks back into worry. Not that there’s much room to worry about him, when there are people to meet and dances to be danced. Finally Edward whisks her away and off to their honey moon. Bella’s side of the deal is filled and she can’t help but bask in the perfection of being Bella Cullen. There is only one problem, though, a problem that just might take her life away with it.

Well, this is certainly a drama filled way to end the Twilight saga with a bang! This book is very different from the others in the Twilight saga in that it is written from two different points of view in different sections in the story. Also, in the other books there was always one major conflict, but in this book there were at least four conflicts. I enjoyed all of the drama in this book, there was hardly any down time. I can’t help but marvel at the complex vampire covens, talents, and relationships. This gave me a new appreciation for the imaginary species Meyer created.
