Nothing but respect for my Thirst Queen, imagine going through an entire tetralogy just to get some.

At one point, Bella says the words "fifty shades of grey" which might trigger anyone as unfortunate as I to have suffered said spinoff saga at its peak hype u_u

I thought the ending was good,

I personally don’t like the pregnancy troupe but I like the series enough I can overlook it. I think Jacob imprinting was weird and kind of a sloppy way to give him a happy ending. I do enjoy when the vampires from all over are introduced and I wish we could have had some of that in the earlier books.

A good end to the saga, slower than the other books. Three POVs from the main characters

SO much filler. Also, it was unexpectedly gore-ish and made me a little uncomfortable at times. However, this was my favorite of the saga because it's the last one, which means I don't have to read about these godforsaken characters anymore

 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.

lizziaha's review against another edition

3.0

This book is definitely a guilty pleasure for me. I enjoy reading it but it is ultimately so deeply problematic that it’s hard to stay in the story. Aside from Meyer’s regular racism involving the Quileutes (quite literally insinuating that POC are animals) and her drastic white-washing of every single vampire character, there were other problems.

The way Meyer handles Bella’s pregnancy carries deeply anti-abortion sentiments—with the people trying to prioritize Bella’s life being framed as the antagonists. Additionally, solving the love triangle by making Jacob fall in love with a child?? I know that Meyer tries to pretend like it’s not like that but it’s truly insane in my opinion. And with jacob’s perspective we get a healthy dose of misogyny and just a sprinkle of homophobia, so that’s unfortunate.
