All’s fair in love and war; apparently so in Stephenie’s world.
Quite frankly I’m not even sure where to begin this review. So let’s start with the positives shall we?!? First, the characters whom we've grown to know and love are all still alive and kickin' in this book, so I guess that’s a plus. And Stephenie is quite brilliant with dialoged and that skill was demonstrated yet again in this book.
Now on to the bad news... as an author there is a cardinal rule that you NEVER, EVER deviate from rules/laws that you create in your "world.” You create your own universe and invite others into it. Since you are the almighty creator you get to dictate how, what, when, where, why everything happens. But once you put a rule in place you can’t take it back. If you do it creates confusion and distrust between you and your reader.
So creating a hybrid vampire and then having that same vampire be the one that gets "imprinted" on with a WEREWOLF, even though she is ultimately the reason for the werewolf’s existence and therefore its archenemy?!? Besides the fact that this whole idea is unbearably ridiculous, it's also insulting to my intelligence. As one who embraced Stephanie’s rules for her world I was insulted that she would come up with something so trite.
And for a good ½ the book we’re gearing up for the “Armageddon,” as it were, amongst the vampires and when we finally get there and the last 2 chapters were just… well Judas talk about anti-climatic. No Emmett/Dimitri action, no action period, unless you count the Irina bit, which if you blink or yawn you miss anyway.
And the la, la, la… happily ever after, well it was sappy and almost embarrassing to read.
You know I don’t even think disappointed is the right word to use to describe my feelings for this book. But I don’t know what word is. I’m left wanting, but not in a good way.

This final book in the series, though without the dose of climactic action of the others, was quite satisfying by the end. It took me much longer than the others to read, and I think it's because of the lack of action. The tension, though, wasn't lacking, and the end of this installment certainly left a wide open possibility for the next book. I'll just be happy to read about the imminent love affair between Nessie and Jacob. I can't wait!

I reread the Saga this year, but I didn't have patience for the last book, so I won't rate it. If I remember correctly, I liked it back then. I'm not sure how I would feel after all these years.

Не съжалявам, че трябваше да препрочета почти цялата книга, защото не си я спомнях. Хареса ми, като че ли колкото първата и много повече от втората и третата. Хареса ми смяната на разказвача, въпреки че Джейкъп ми идваше малко повече на моменти. Интересен обрат в края на книгата, което ми хареса, защото очаквах всичко да се случи.
