Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

Breaking Dawn sold more that 1.3 million copies in its first 24 hours of release, smashing the sales records of the last book. It just proved to the public how popular these books had become! Anyone like myself who had never read anything of its kind before should really take the leap and read them as they are written beautifully and flow so well from one to the next.



Breaking Dawn is split into 3 parts. Part one and 3 from Bella's perspective and part two from Jacob's. The way the different perspectives are written capture the characters so well from the various viewpoints. I really enjoyed Jacob's section as he is less analytical then Bella and encompasses more of the qualities and feelings most of us can relate to.



The final book sees the honeymoon on Edward and Bella take a bizarre turn as Bella finds herself progressing rapidly through an unexpected pregnancy. It is clear to all that the baby is killing Bella until a rather disgusted Jacob suggests giving Bella human blood as they is what he thinks the baby (and Bella) need. It works and during the horrific birth Edward is forces, with Jacob's blessing as the new and rightful Alpha of his pack, Edward to have to bite Bella with his venom and change her for ever more.



After her agonizing change and adaptation to real life, Bella realises that the Volturi in Italy want to come and not only kill her child viewing her as dangerous, but have her and Edward among other talented vampires, come and work with Aro their leader.



The vampires and werewolves again join forces making an army of their own with other vampire friends and set out to make the volturi meet their match.



A fantastic crescendo to a superb saga!
