Stephenie Meyer Explains 'Breaking Dawn' Book Cover Meaning For Fans

"It represents Bella and Bella," Stephenie spills.
"This cover, one of the reasons why I love it and was so happy we
finally came up with the concept, is that it's the whole book series on
one cover. Bella's starts out as the weakest player on the board and she
ends up as the one who decides the outcome of the story. She became the
most powerful player, and I really liked that metaphor. I liked seeing
her evolution in one picture."

Breaking Dawn's cover shows the weakest piece on a chess board – a pawn –
and focuses on the strongest one, the queen. Although Bella's character
comes full circle, Stephenie still feels that other players in the Twilight
saga have more to share. She confesses that Leah's story doesn't feel
resolved to her and foresees future writing from Renesmee's
point-of-view.
"If I were to go ahead with the Cullen universe -- and honestly I'll do
it for myself, whether I publish it or not is questionable at this point
-- but the narrators that I would go ahead with...would be Renesmee and
Leah. Probably about the age of five, which would be about 16 or 17 for
Renesmee."

So weird. you have to sit there for like an hour and really stare at the cover and then you'll eventually come to this conclusion which is what happened to me. AWESOME <3 Thanx, Steph, for the update!!! It's a good thing she said it finally, now with Breaking Dawn on it's way.
