Breaking Dawn Broke My Heart
***Feel Safe. No Plot Specific Spoliers!***
As a die hard Twilight fan I am dissappointed with Breaking Dawn. Chapters 1-4 are in typical Twilight mode and feels like a continuation of the series. Then slowly in chapter 5 the characters we know so well become diluted and we are expected to believe this wild ride we are taken on. I think there was so much focus on the plot and getting everything to the finish line that the essence of the characters were sacrificed. As I was reading I kept mourning the perfection of scences like the meadow or their first car ride together.
I think most readers need to be prepared that this book is very plot driven and is no way driven by the characters like in the past. By itself it is a fun, wild ride of a read but not as a part of the series.
