You don't mind me blogging about this the day after it came out because I already finished, do you?
Got no choice, really. Just don't read if you want to read TSSLOBT. Save this post until after.
Excuse me while I take my diet cherry coke's virginity with amaretto before I start. Done *yum yum*
So ... Bree Tanner (I am not writing a full title every time, and can't c&p) ... hmmm ... I liked the personality of the character a little better than Bella. Basically, if Stephenie never writes about Bella, her writing is tolerable (Midnight Sun should've been published first). But still ... I don't know, with all the wow-ness factor of being a new vampire, would you really be that dumb? Or obtuse? She takes a long time to figure out she's going to die. And that the guy she fancied for an entire day before he disappeared has actually been killed by Victoria. There were huge logic gaps - Alice, in the original, never saw the Volturi leave until they had almost finished up, yet Jane and Felix were visiting Victoria 4 days before? PLOT HOLE. Ungh, if you can't get VampireLore right, at least memorise factiods in your own writing and change as neccesary.
I liked Jasper at the end. I thought Carlisle was Jasper at first, from the description, but when Jasper came along he was awesome, since he wanted to just out-and-out kill Bree and then acted like an ass to her for ages. So the Cullen's aren't perfect.
It felt like a lot of the time she was rushing about, trying to make Bree's story fit. It didn't flow as well as she'd probably have liked, but maybe they rushed this book through? I didn't buy the stuff about her and Diego. The Fred character, I thought she should have stuck with, she seemed to get along better with him. Bree was obviously the wrong character to have written about, because there was no actual reason for her to ditch Fred. Forcing the characters again *sigh*. Oh and there was this ship that was sunk after they gorged on all the passengers that was never mentioned in Eclipse.
Buuuut it did answer a couple of questions. Like how arrogant, wishes-he-was-God Edward would try and stick up for Bree (sorry, but in Midnight Sun, he's like 'all human thoughts are boring' then describes Rosalie looking at herself. Who the eff does he think he is to judge what's boring when he listens to vapid drivel like that? Silly Stephenie) and why the hell he would do that. And that power of Jane's actually gets described, which was pretty interesting, was like she made them relive the change.
All in all ... it was pretty much like the other stuff. Am glad I got it on serious discount from Tescos.
Now, when does Awakened come out?
