Breaking Dawn by: Stephenie Meyer




Breaking Dawn, written by Stephenie Meyer, is narrated by the books main character Bella Swan or should i say Bella Cullen? Breaking Dawn is split into three parts. The main characters of this book are Edward Cullen, Bella's Vampire Husband, Alice and Rosely, Bella's vampire and sisters-in-law, Emmet and Jasper, Bella's vampire and brothers-in-law, Carlise and Eseme, Bella's vampire and parents-in-law, Jacob Black, the boy who has imprinted on Bella and falls in love with her daughter, Renesemee, Bella's daughter who is half mortal and half immortal, and the Volturi, the vampire clan who are make the rules for the vampires and plan on killing the Cullen's and Bella's newborn baby.


Breaking Dawn is split into three separate parts. The first part details Bella’s marriage and honeymoon with Edward, which they spend on a private island, called Isle Esme, off the coast of Brazil. Two weeks into their honeymoon, Bella realizes that she is pregnant with a half-vampire child and that her condition is progressing at an unnaturally accelerated rate. After contacting Carlisle, who confirms her pregnancy, she and Edward immediately return home to Forks. Edward, concerned for Bella’s life and convinced that the fetus is a monster as it continues to develop with unnatural rapidity, urges her to have an abortion. However, Bella feels a connection with her unborn baby and refuses.

The second part of the book is written from the perspective of Jacob Black, and lasts throughout Bella’s pregnancy and childbirth. Jacob’s Quileute wolf pack, not knowing what danger the unborn child may pose, plan to destroy it, also killing Bella. Jacob protests this decision and leaves, forming his own pack with Leah and Seth Clearwater. The fetus in Bella’s body grows swiftly and Bella soon gives birth, but the baby breaks many of her bones and she loses huge 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 werewolf finds his soul mate, on Edward and Bella’s newborn daughter Renesme.


The third part of the book goes back to Bella’s perspective, describing her painful transformation and finding herself 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 turned 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 from around the world to stand as witnesses and prove to the Volturi that Renesmee is not an immortal child. Upon confronting the gathered Cullen allies and witnesses, the Volturi discover that they have been misinformed and immediately execute Irina for her mistake. However, they remain undecided on whether Renesmee should be viewed as a threat to vampires’ secret existence. At that time, Alice and Jasper, who had left prior to the confrontation, return with Nahuel, a 150-year-old vampire-human crossbreed like Renesmee. Nahuel demonstrates that the crossbreeds pose no threat, and the Volturi leave. Edward, Bella, and Renesmee return to their home in peace and live a happily ever after.






I chose to read the Twilight Sega: Breaking Dawn because i began reading Twilight, finished it, read New Moon, finished it, read Eclipse, finished it so why not read the last book? This is by far my favorite book of all time. The way Bella narrates it is like you can actually feel how shes feeling. What i didn't like about this novel, was Jacobs point of view. He didn't think or speak like Bella did and i was so into these books BECAUSE of Bella. She's the one who caught my eye not Jacob. I also didn't like how Jacob imprinted/fell in love with, with Bella's baby. She does have the power to grow super fast but I don't know about you but that seems pretty strange to me. I'm in love with this book so much I've read it about 5 times and I'd read everyday if i could. If you liked Twilight, New Moon, or Eclipse, PLEASE read Breaking Dawn! It's so amazing.
