that the books got better but I guess they couldn't have gotten much worse

They really did (speaking of the 3 and 4th) and as a negative (but truthful) critic of the books i will be the first to say that but are they perfect no.



My problems actually come more from structure problems rather than from any plot problems like they have in the past.



the prologues have become such a hassle. They really are unnecessary it is a cool way to start a book but i really dont see much of a point for them in this series and though I have never liked them, it was really bad in the last. I think she was stretching for reasons to use this unique technique of hers.



Then the reading from Jacobs point of view. Dont like it. It was alright at first and nice to see the type of sacrifice he made from his own eyes but a good author probably could have found a better way to pass that time. Heck I would have went from Edwards point of view if I was going with any ones he could have seen it through Jacobs eyes and we would have seen his own pain. But I would have liked her to keep it the same as she has in all the other books. She hasn't went to other peoples perspectives thus far she shouldn't have done it now. It was the only time i felt the book actually dragged on.

To the actual plot. She actually kept the excitement going there were few boring spots in both. She had good plot twists I guess. They were good but the problem is I saw them all coming every damn one. One would think that that would make the stories boring. But in truth tho I knew what was going to happen a part of me wondered how they would take place. Even the baby called it! The problem doesn't lie in the fact that I could call every single plot turn it because that is one of the ways I would have written the book ( I also have another but its truthfully not as good) so I cant fault her for her predictabilitys instead I am going to complain about her foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is a great technique it builds curiosity and in that way suspense. But she over used it to the point that I knew what was going to happen because its the only way the book can lead.

It was better these two were good, completely different books from the first two. They had suspense, romance and some action. Actually both had climax's! thats a change. But just curiosity did everyone catch the 3rds climax. With so much suspense building up to the newborn fight that I expected the climax to come in a action form. But instead I think it was when Bella recognizes her need for Jacob. It was unneeded conflict. What would have been better is if she would have called him back then through her regret of hurting him. kissed him on the cheek and told him to fight and be careful like a friend. and he realizes that he loves her the same way as a friend. A protector. That would be characterization.

I wish Alice would have bitten Bella. That was what was supposed to happen. I knew it wasn't going to after the wedding. But she foreshadowed it and then sort of unforeshadowed it. That was the only loose end. And it doesnt bother me that bad but I think it would have added for some reason.
