Synopsis
To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, she has endured a tumultuous year of temptation, loss and strife to reach the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fate of two tribes hangs. Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and unfathomable consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life - first discovered in TWILIGHT, then scattered and torn in NEW MOON and ECLIPSE - seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed...forever?
Review
After a very disapointing third book - Eclipse, I was really hoping that Stephanie Meyer had pulled her socks up and written a fourth book, worthy of being included in the in the Twilight saga; AND I'm to say she has found her creative mojo again. It was an absolute pleasure to read Breaking Dawn. I even had to pace myself whilst reading it as I really wanted to prolong my enjoyment. To savour it!
Stephanie really does progress the story line quite nicely AND with a couple of nice twists and turns that take you by surprise. She also brings in a wealth of wonderful new characters and develops some of the slightly more familiar ones.
Unfortunately the character of Bella is still rather annoying with her constant procrastinations and it would have been nice to see her fall/fail a little bit at being a new born vampire, but she masters everything far too quickly and perfectly! Happily though, Jacob is a rather good foil for Bella's perfections! His character has come on in leaps and bounds, in a beautiful gritty and tender way.
Breaking Dawn is a brilliant read and certainly a great edetion to the Twilight Saga.
