Positives: some of the quotes were funny, the romance was still cute in its own weird way, and it was a throwback and a half to be in this story.
Negatives: Edward goes on a bit, doesn’t he? What’s all this crap about pomegranates? Also just get over it Edward, this girl loves you and would like to be a vampire, please. You could stop this from being a 4 book saga (still salty about the travesty that is New Moon...) if you just did what she wanted. Thanks.
Read the rest of my review here. I’m gonna go full Edward and say way too much! Spoilers ahead...
Anyway, yes this book was fun at times, and full of the classic Twilight angst, but WOW IT WAS REALLY LONG AND BORING MOST OF THE TIME.

There is nothing new in this book since Edward and Bella both were never more than cardboard cutout characters and every scene seems to be from the original.
Still, I know I'm going to borrow the two books that managed to escape my notice before, so Meyer's must be doing something right. Or maybe it's just that I suddenly need potato-chip style books--I know I should put them down, but just can't seem to stop.

I can’t help but wonder if she struggled with the latter half and felt she had to finish it. Still I would love it if she continued with alternating povs from the Cullens, at least for New Moon since I can just imagine Edward’s despair in that book would be too much. I know that’s just a dream though!

Jasper is an ex confederate soldier and stephenie doesn’t think to really address this????? She has issues all over the place with racism although it’s mostly ‘subtle’.jessiedoyle's review against another edition

Then the second half was mostly Twilight again. Not bad, but I wish the first half could have gone on forever.
