The second part of the novel is written from the perspective of Jacob Black, and lasts throughout Bella's pregnancy and childbirth. Jacob Quiluete's wolf pack, not knowing what danger the unborn child may pose, plan to destroy it, also killing Bella. Jacob vehemently protests this decision and leaves, forming his own pack with Seth and Lea Clearwater. Bella soon gives birth, but the baby breaks many of her bones and loses massive amounts of blood. In order to save her life, Edward changes her into a vampire by injecting his venom into her heart. Jacob, who was present for the birth, almost immediately 'imprints'-- an involuntary response in which a shape-shifter finds his soulmate-- into Edward and Bella's daughter, Renesmee.
The third section of Breaking Dawn shifts back to Bella's perspective, finding her changed into a vampire and enjoying her new life and abilities. However, the vampire Irina misidentifies Renesmee as an "immortal child", a child who has been changed into a vampire. Because "immortal children" are uncontrollable, creating them has been outlawed by the Volturi. After Irina presents her allegation to the Volturi, they plan to destroy Renesmee and the Cullens. In an attempt to survive, the Cullens gather other vampire clans around the world to stand as witnesses. The Volturi discovered that they have been misinformed and immediately execute Irina for her mistake. However, they remained undecided on whether Renesmee should be viewed as a threat to vampire's secret existence. At that time, Alice and Jasper, who left prior to the confrontation, return with a Mapuche called Nahuel, a 150-year-old vampire-human crossbreed like Renesmee. He demonstrates that the crossbreeds pose no threat, and the Volturi surrender. Edward, Bella and Renesmee return to their home in peace.
Then here comes the next sequel and my addiction has abruptly reach its end.
...So yeah, after getting absolutely bored in Newmoon (the story seems to drag from Edward's disappearance until Alice's return) and getting downright furious and utterly annoyed in Eclipse, i thought i had enough. I was beyond repelled with the 'Edward-Bella-Jacob's triangular relationship that i had to endure my revulsion and force myself to read this last installment. (i cried in frustration over ETHICS and NEEDS, and had been grossed-out at Bella!) And to feed the remaining doze of twiligholic in me, i oblige, in hopes that the conclusion would redeem the series somehow.
So here how it turns out.
In general, i could categorize this book into 'hardly-good-but-pwede-na'. Actually, i would rate it 6 out of 10 if not for this major, distracting flaws.
>>Let's start with the CHARACTERS:
► EDWARD, ok now, where do you suppose had our beloved, endearingly possessive Edward gone?!
The one we have here isnt him at all!
and BELLA, *winced* I was really wondering how could i once loved her.. She's nothing but selfish, flimsy, and whinny. She's hopeless, helpless, utterly pathetic without Edward. Oh, and her unfaithfulness is the last straw!
then JACOB, the most pathetic character that ever grazed the novel pages!! He has been a very convincing and effective antagonist though
for this mongrel had been a constant annoyance to me all throughout the story.
► where are the CULLENS? Gewd, they seem to just pop in and out
of the story especially dear Alice and Jasper.
Sure, It's really good having Seth Clearwater here, he adds a light hearted air to the story. I am, however, kinda freaked out with Bella's mother, Renee. What Meyer gives us is just a paperdoll image of her. Tell me, did she even have a small dialogue after a few lines she had in Twilight? And just what ever happen to Bella's friends? I would want atleast something about Ben and Angela.
