Ch. 1–7: The wedding-heavy opening felt overly happy and honestly a bit boring for the start of the final book. The honeymoon was fine, thankfully not explicit, but the real shift happens with Bella’s pregnancy. Suddenly there are questions even the Cullens can’t answer, which finally adds tension and mystery. So far it’s just okay, but I’m hoping Jacob’s POV shakes things up and gives the story new energy.

Jasper's backstory is fascinating, his time in the southern wars and the chaos of newborn vampires finally add more depth. I like how his gift affects both others and himself. The Irina-Laurent revenge adds tension, and Bella's choice to have Edward change her feels deeply personal. Jacob's confession was bold but desperate, he knows time's running out.

Ch 11-12: The Quileute backstory is so intriguing! The spirit warriors, betrayals and the sacrificed of the third wife add rich layer to the story. I love learning about their history with the "Cold Ones" and the painful effect of vampire scent on wolves. Bella's fear of losing her humanity adds depght to her character, while Edward wants to keep her human until it's safe. Jasper scars reveal more of his tragic past.

Ch 9-10: These chapters bring suspense! A mysterious visitor in Bella's room sends chills, and the fact that Alice can't see them raises red flags. Victoria seems like the obvious suspect, but her scent is known, which complicate things. I love that Jacob and Edward are willing to work together for Bella's safety. The mention of Newborn vampires and Jasper's experience add some much needed depth to the lore.

Chapter 8 read! This chapter was a bit slower, but I appreciated the deeper dive into the imprinting and the tribe's surprise at how often it is happening. Jacob's frustration with Bella's "vampire in a few weeks" plan is relatable, he is clearly invested. Edward's trust in Bella is nice. but I am honestly a little over the Bella, Jacob, Edward love triangle. The focus on the lore was refreshing though.

Chapeter 5-7 read! These chapter were intense! The imprinting concept is wild! Romantic yet unsettling. Loved learning more about the wolves and Rosalie's tragic story. This gave her depth beyond the "ppretty vampire" label. Alice holding Bella hostage for a Porsche was hillarious yet toxic. The Edward-Jacob drama drags a bit. The tension is real, but it is starting to feel exhausting.

Chapter 3 and 4: Things are finally picking up! Edward's secret Florida trip motive comes out, Victoria is back in Forks hunting Bella. Emmet and Paul tension adds a bite to the story. Jacob's version of events gives fresh insight, and Bella is starting to questions Edward's honesty. Not bad, feels like the real plot is warming up.

Chapters 1 and 2 read! It starts slow with Bella grounded, but Alice's vision keeps things interesting, I need to know what she saw! Bella's still stubborn as ever, and Edward is hiding something. His random idea of a Florida trip seems suspicious. Why drag bella into the sunhine state when he literally sparkes in the sun? Something bigger is brewing here.

Chapter 23 tp Epilogue finished! The ending wasn't amazing. Bella really needs to let go of Jacob if she's set on eternity with Edward. What struck me, though, was Marcus seeing bonds. He was surprised by Bella and Edward's, so it makes me wonder what he'd think if he saw Bella and Jacob's. Maybe they share a strong bond too, just not the same kind of love.

Chapters 18-22 finished! The cliff jump confussion around Bella's "death" felt over the top, and Jacob pushing so hard for Bella's love is tiring, especially with Edward absent most of the book. The trip to Volterra dragged, though finally meeting the Volturi was exciting, even if less tense than I imagined. The flight home fell flat. Not feeling much hope for the ending.

Chapter 16 and 17 all finished. Still dragging a bit with this book, I am not fully hooked yet. Loved Alice's return and Bella finally more like herself. Sad seeing Charlie so down. Victoria's looming presence adds the tension I have been waiting for, can't wait to see her plans unfold.

Chapters 14 & 15 completed. Pretty interesting getting to know more about Jacob "phasing" and more about his family. More characters introductions and backstories are more interesting than Bella's love story and obsession of not forgetting Edward! Seeing Jacob and Paul figntning and then learningwhat triggers the transformation were the most important piece of information given to me.

Chapters 11-13 completed! Finaly I get more answers and more in depth into Jacob situation and what is really going on! Gets more interesting whenever I get to read on the character POV about their issues, secrets and see more development in their character. Its sad to se a character was taken out, had more hope for him but oh well.

Chapter 9 aqnd 10 completed! Getting better, not draggin as much as the previous chapter. I do understand that we needed to see how Edward's absence was affecting Bella and give some time to see Bella anda Jacob's friendship grow. Good to finally see the wolves and the appearence of an old character. I did enjoyed this two chapters a little better.

Coming back at it again! Took a little break from reading. Chapters 4-8 completed. I was really dragging through the whole depression part. Honestly, I was about to stop reading the book and start to read a new one, but here I am trying to get through it. Jacob and Bella relationship seems to be better and less toxic, I know it just a friendship. Hopefully I get to see more character development and less depression.

Chapter 2 and 3 done. So far, I like it more than the first book. I like more the conversations about the things the other vampires have experienced, the details about Carlisle life and such. Still finding it a little bit boring and finding Bella very annoying.

First chapter in! I just can't with Bella. She keeps being so boring and awkward. Like come on girl, you are with the love of your life next to you and can't enjoy the little moments just because you want to transform into a vampire. She needs to enjoy more about what she has left in her life or Victoria, then later worry about becominga vampire.

The hunt is on! Honestly the book hasnt been that bad. It just its better when we go inside the lives and details of the vampires, the mechanics of how everything works for them. Getting to know the passions and obsessions of James leaves me thirsty to get to know more of him, Victoria and Laurent.

Now its getting more interesting. Getting to know Carlisle story.

So far, its been very pleasant to know Edwards point of view on how he wss explaining to Bella his feelings, still shocked he sees himself as a threat when he actually tells Bellabhe is stronger that what he though.

Going into more of the story. Im think is a little bit slow. Im getting back into reading and Im not a romance person. But some of the conversations get a little intense and I love entering into Edward's point of view or answers. So far I am getting very into it, I am bout to start on Chapter 12,

Im stunned to see how Edward keeps describing himself as a monster, and how Bella just keeps falling in love without thinkning what vampires might be capable of.
