Nonostante sia un finale decisamente particolare, mi è piaciuta l'idea finale di mostrare che Bella sia in realtà innamorata di entrambi perché penso che molto spesso nei libri sia presente l'idea di un singolo unico amore, quando in realtà posso esistere diversi tipi di amore che convivono tra loro.

Ho trovato alcune parti del libro un po' ripetitive, sia nella trama sia nel modo stesso in cui erano scritte. Nel complesso però il libro mi è piaciuto e l'ho trovato piuttosto scorrevole. In generale mi è piaciuto il modo dell'autrice di descrivere i sentimenti e i dubbi di Bella, anche se alcune volte erano probabilmente troppo drammaticità (anche se la drammaticità di bella è sempre stata presente anche nei libri precedenti quindi non è esattamente una sorpresa). Continuerò sicuramente la serie leggendo anche il prossimo libro.

This is my favorite of the Twilight saga books. It's the most plot-driven book in the entire series. Because of the events of the first book, Bella is in danger again from Victoria while a murderous rampage is happening just a few cities away in Seattle. The deaths of all these innocents has put the Cullens--and the pack--on edge.

Eventually, the werewolves and Cullen Coven are able to form a shaky alliance to bring down their common enemy. Vampires.

Of course, Victoria is playing with Edward and Alice's abilities and is able to remain undetected while she creates a newborn army to kill Bella. Edward eventually kills her in the end and Bella realizes she loves Jacob Black and Edward at the same time. Of course, she is never going to act on her desires for Jacob....except for this one time to save his life. It doesn't work out for the two of them.

I love this book. There's so much going on and so many connecting plot elements. This was originally meant to be the end of the saga, but Stephenie pushed for her original ending. Eclipse ties up all the loose ends, is plot heavy, and manages to get lots of romance in there.

Bella cuts herself to distract the vampires. She also imagines herself as a heroine who sacrifices herself via suicide (ie stabbing herself with a knife).

Honestly, this book was hard to get through. Very slow and went into detail too much. The romance was super cute though. I feel like it would have been easier to get through if it was faster pace. I did enjoy the epilogue and some of the scenes between Edward and Jacob were fun to read. 

"Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV."
