I am so disappointed.
I am a massive Twilight fan. I loved the first three books and I lost myself completely in each of them.
I was very excited for Breaking Dawn because I didn't know what to expect. The story line could be anything and I had high hopes that Stephenie would make it as interesting as ever.
(Warning: Spoilers ahead.)
The first "book" was okay at the beginning. It seemed normal: Bella nervous for her wedding, a nice little wedding, and then the honeymoon. I expected that much. However, then I got to the end of the first part. If you've read the book, you know what I'm talking about.
I actually put down the book and said, "No way...what is this? Fanfiction?" It took me awhile to pick it up again. And then I had to read from Jacob's POV, which annoyed me since the massive plot line mostly involved Bella. I was so confused: what was I reading? Was this even Stephenie writing anymore? Why did the voice of the book suddenly change? Why were the characters saying things that seemed out of place?
The plot line was messed up, to put it simply. A child? Stephenie said that it was impossible! I read so many fanfiction stories with that plot line and always stopped reading them because it annoyed me. And here was the REAL book with that plot line I loathed the most.
Everyone suddenly seemed out of character. Bella wasn't herself, Edward was saying things that made me question out loud, and everything was changing. And then Jacob - what can I say about him? I was beginning to like him and then throw in that imprinting thing and it's all out of the window!
I'm frustrated. I wanted to see a big epic battle at the end of the book, not just...nothing.
I didn't expect anything. But it still ruined my nonexistant expections. Breaking Dawn has a different feel to it than the other books. I don't believe it's part of the series.
I'm just so disappointed. Why Stephenie?
