Is everyone else as disappointed as I am with the ending of Breaking Dawn???
Ok, so I love everything else about the Twilight series but I'm really disappointed with Breaking Dawn. Just to name a few things - the end scene is a total anti-climax, I mean I for one wanted a big showdown with the Volturi.. and it's this huge build up then NOTHING. They just leave and walk away. Also Bella and Edward just seem... different. Maybe its Reneesmee.. I really don't like her. I think part of it is because by Bella having her she put Edward through so much pain. It's just disappointing after 3 fantastic books the way Breaking Dawn wraps everything up so quickly too.. I dont think its up to the same standards as the rest of the books. Stephanie was definitely over it and wanted to get on with her other writing by the feel of it.

Oh Blasphemy! JK. Seriously tho, BD was my fav book from the whole series. And yes, the relationship changed with Edward and Bella, but I was always rooting for the Vampire Bella. I thought it was a nice switch from her perpetual "damsel in distress" persona she kept thru the other 3 books. It was cool to see her go from a helpless human to one of the most powerful cornerstones of the Cullen's defense. And the fact that he could finally hear her thoughts after he tortured himself over the last few years about not being able to hear her gave them some balance finally. Edward gave Bella anything and everything she wanted- this was probably the best gift she could have ever given him.
Anyway, I like the fact that some things were left open ended. Maybe SM will be so nice to grace us with one more literary work of art!! It would be cool to to see how Jacob and Renesmee's develop, and what happens with the Volturi, Bella and Edward in college, etc... Or even if she finished Midnight Sun and created another semi-parallel to the Twilight Saga from Edward's point of view. Stephanie if you are reading these......PLEASE!!!

i completely agree! it was rather disappointing. i thought everything with the volturi ended wayyy too peacefully. there should have at least been some action. the fact that all they did was talk was like wtf?!?!? the first 3 books were amazing but i felt like maybe stephenie was afraid to hurt the characters. a happy ending is great and all but there should have been more drama to get to that point.

I agree, I would love to see Stephanie continue with other stories from the different characters we have grown to love over the 4 books. Besides, I would give my husband something else to moan about, he wouldnt have seen the other covers before, & would not be able to say "WHAT! You're reading it AGAIN??"
bwen said:I actually love the last book, except that I think it was ended too quickly, perhaps it should have been 2 books.
In the last book I feel the change in Edward and Bella's relationship is because they were equals now, and we had been so used to Edward always rescuing her.
Also in the previous books the multiple story lines that Stephanie usually balances, seemed to be rather 2 dimensional in the last part of Breaking Dawn almost like an after thought or just a vehicle to tie events together, like how Charlie and Renee are treated, Renee is almost ignored which not characteristic of Bella or Renee.
But I still love BD and wish Stephanie would continue with additional stories because there are so many stories she could create from the rich characters in these books.

The imprint killed the book for me-it was a complete cop out. Instead of letting Jacob have dignity and be the tragic figure of the series in some sense-they make him a toddler's pet. UGH.

I was happy with the ending, I felt like it was perfect! They get to be together forever and that was what they wanted. I think I might have liked Renesmee a little better if she would have had a different name. The first time I read that part I think my jaw dropped, and I was in disbelief! I thought it was kind of dumb and immature, I mean Bella was 18 not 12! And Edward should have had some suggestions of his own. Am I the only one that feels this way?

I love EVERYTHING about this book, it is my absoultely favorite book EVER, not just the Twilight Saga. ILaugh, blush, cry, blush some more and cry some more. Everything was such a shock but it all fit together amazingly. When I first read through it my husband was asking if I was ok, I was so flushed, I am a natural red head who blushes if u even look at me but the entire time, every thime, I read it I stay with a constant flush. Not just oh... swoon..... over the droolwother guys but and emotional as well as a physical reaction. Disappointed is not a word I would ever use in reguards to the whol Twilight Saga, other than the disappoint that it has an end.
