Breaking Down the Dawn: PART TWO

[mika_cullen]

So, here we go, Part Two of my review. This basically focuses on Book Three (:
( PART ONE)

BOOK THREE: The lamb and the lion go at it (in two different literal senses)
So let me start out by saying that Vampire Bella doesn't piss me off as much as much as Human Bella did. Why? No, not because Bella is less clumsy. I really can't say why...but maybe it'

DUH, she didn't leave them. SHE'S SACRIFICING HERSELF JUST LIKE EDWARD WAS.

ALICE. I hated Bella for thinking that she and Jasper ran to save themselves. Way to take the only character I actually care about and make her absent for half the book, Stephenie. D: (Well, I actually also like Jasper and Carlisle and Esme and Emmett and Rosalie and Seth and Leah, but Jasper is gone too and the rest don't get very much attention anyhow.)

I think the ending was sort of... cheap. Bella didn't really have to sacrifice anything to become a vampire. She didn't have to deal with the bloodlust, she still gets to see her dad and Jacob. I don't know, with DH I felt like Harry earned his happy ending (this from somebody who hated that epilogue, but that kid had been through absolute hell and he lost a lot of people that were important to him, and fought Voldemort annually for seven years), whereas Bella... didn't. I wanted Cullen awesome, with all of them under one roof and Alice and Bella being bff, and Renesmee not existing and less focus on Edward/Bella and more focus on the Cullens as a unit, with Bella actually having to cut herself off from her former life and having her travel around with them, fighting with Emmett over who got the bigger room when they moved. :\

I will give Stephenie props for not killing off my favorite character like JKR did, though. *still bitter*

You mean Fred? Tonks? [is also still bitter].
At first, Renesmee was this insignificant character, but I really love the kid now. She makes me smile (:
But Bella getting what she wanted yet again, AS ALWAYS, was STUPID. [shakes head]
Jasper is my favorite character. Yep, I love him (;

TONKS. D: Who got to spend the entire book pregnant with her husband being all emo (I shipped Tonks/Lupin but hated where book 7 took them), and then she DIES. And doesn't even get an actual death scene.

I don't really mind Renesmee as a character. I think she seems cute. I just... don't like the fact that she exists.

Oh, Jasper. ♥ I love the Cullens so much. We never get enough of them in the books, except for Edward, who is actually my least favorite of them all (though not my least favorite character). I pretty much just spend the books waiting for Alice to show up. :\
