When I first read it, I only right it in tandem with Twilight. Loved it. Reading it now after having reread the full series, loved it even more. While it is longer than Twilight, it did bring in more of the vampire lore and delve into some of the other characters. It worked when I read it as the fifth book and when I read it in tandem with Twilight. Considering the references in it, I think it would be interesting to read it as the third between New Moon and Eclipse. Edward’s insight and yearning made me take their relationship more seriously. Still annoyed about the characterization of Bella as a klutz even though she’s just a teenage girl living life.
