'Don't go back, then,' he suggested again. He picked up a rock and chucked it into the waves. 'They're going to be furious with me tonight, though.' 'Do you think they'll come looking for you?' he asked, sounding hopeful. Jacob was still full of himself for engineering my escape. Some excitement, but an unoriginal, repetitive and unnecessary book in the saga.ĥ/10 Some excitement, but an unoriginal, repetitive and unnecessary book in the saga.WE ENDED UP ON THE BEACH AGAIN, WANDERING AIMlessly. Mild curiosity would be my only reason to read the final book. The action that the author has put in the book is a bit reminiscent of James hunting down Bella in the first instalment, Twilight.Įclipse doesn’t leave me with a need to read the next book, Breaking Dawn, as the previous two books did.

Instead of mixing some action in with all the long descriptions of the relationships, Meyer leaves all of the action to the last 70-80 pages. These are the signs of newborn vampires, released on civilisation without a mentor vampire to keep them under check and prevent the unveiling of vampires to the human world. The story starts with news of a spate of killings in Seattle which seems to be getting worse and worse and the police are blaming it on gang activity. From a Romeo and Juliet type of forbidden love, the author has transgressed into a Wuthering Heights love triangle. Stephenie Meyer has used another clichéd fate of great lovers in literature, and she knows it and shows it in the book. It seems that now they have already trodden the path of the impossible love that became possible, Meyer needed another challenge to give Bella and Edward’s relationship. The readers see that Bella starts to fall deeper and deeper in love with Jacob, but that love is still nowhere close to the love she feels for Edward. The love triangle all starts to get a bit repetitive. So much of the book focuses on the three-wheeled relationship between Bella, Jacob and Edward. The story is good and keeps the reader interested, but not gripped. Instead, Eclipse was a big disappointment for me. Eclipse has so much promise, so many sure-fire story paths that could be filled with excitement from start to finish.

New Moon had a fantastically gripping conclusion one that I’m sure left most readers desperately waiting for the next instalment of the saga. Not to mention the fact that by changing Bella into one of them, the Cullen’s will break a century old truce with the werewolves of the Quileute tribe, one of whom is Bella’s best friend Jacob Black. There is also the not so insignificant matter of the vampire Victoria wanting to avenge her mate’s death by torturing Bella to death. The Volturi have made a threat which the Cullen’s will have to follow through or face their annihilation.
