this has been my least favorite of the saga so far which is funny since eclipse is my favorite of the movie adaptations. 
there was a lot of backstory from different characters that went on for pages and pages and pages as monologues. i know the information was necessary but it just came about unnaturally and was lowkey so boring. additionally, it’s so odd to have a major fight that bella wasn’t involved in but the story is told from her pov. i guess in general my complaints for this book mostly come from stephenie meyer’s lack of skill as a writer. but all in all, no regrets, i am enjoying my twilight saga journey lol

My favorite in the Twilight saga so far! The expansion of lore from the vampires and werewolves was so fascinating and fun to read.

As much as I love the Twilight Saga, Eclipse just didn’t do it for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love that we got some backstories and some vampire wars but that’s it. Out of all of the books, this one took me the longest, only by a few days. I still love it nonetheless.

Riley was sorta stalking Bella by looking for her scent

Rosalie can’t have children because…well, she’s a vampire Blood: pretty self explanatory, it’s a vampire love story Violence/War:

Victoria’s army, with like 20+ vampires try to hunt down and kill Bella, along with some of the Cullens and the wolves

Honestly, what can I say? They’re really not good, but it’s so entertaining… 😅

With the return of the Cullens, it brings about a lot of unacceptable behaviour that we honestly didn’t notice back in the day… Edward’s controlling, Jacob’s manipulative, Bella’s a fucking idiot. Honestly, these characters are so toxic, and their relationships are honestly as unhealthy as it gets, yet somehow, not many of us noticed this at the height of Twilight’s popularity. I mean, I was about 12, so I’m going to blame it on that… 😅

This is definitely not a great book. It’s also not the sort of relationships and people so many teenagers (myself included) should have been idolising, but I digress. 

Overall, it’s not good, but it’s so damn entertaining and the nostalgia is hitting me hard, not gonna lie.
