Bree is definitely a more interesting protagonist than Bella. It's just a shame that Meyer's need to include romance in everything she writes and the fact that the story is stuck within the constraints of the Twilight universe hold her back from creating a solid narrative.

(Copied and pasted from my Goodreads review)

 
I really didn't appreciate how the man's army was more put together and survived longer than the disorganized woman's army. I mean it makes sense being written by a Morman but it's just frustrating. Women can be leaders too and since Christie (I read the audio book and don't know how to spell her name) was a leader she shouldn't have been portrayed like a bratty 8 year old throughout most of the book. The popular girls, at least in my high school, never acted like that. They had jobs, bank accounts, a vehicle, they made all their own medical appointments, and they passed the ball to people that were never included in gym class. I haven't meet someone that acted like Christie since the 6th grade which is 10/11 years old btw. I just REALLY hate the way Christie is portrayed if you can't tell. Fred however, is an awesome character and I would like a mini story about him sometime. He's more interesting than any of the others excluding Bree. I'm already regretting saying that though as I can imagine the "weak and tiny woman" Stephanie will write as his mate. Final thoughts? Christian stories ALWAYS disappoint when writing women and I wish it weren't that way.

It’s well written, but it was hard to get attached to any of the characters. Also somewhat disconcerting to read about Diego, clearly intended to be Hispanic, knowing that Meyer insists that vampires have to be white, and fought against the casting of POC for the movies.
