Then of course, there is Edward whom Bella pledges her love to yet still keeps Jake and then purposefully brings up a very sore subject for the sake of keeping Ed with her. I KNEW it was Victoria as soon as I read the excerpt in the New Moon Special Edition the first day it was sold and yet Bella takes about 3 months to stumble onto this. What, your true love- and vampire existence? That’s all! How stupid is she!? Oh no, she isn’t as stupid as the others because she is the only one to think Victoria was responsible for the newborns. Bella thinks after Rosalie’s speech “But so much more to gain in return”. Let us not forget Bella’s disgusting reaction to Rosalie’s story, rather than learn anything from Rosalie about being mortal, Bella is only concerned with the fact that a vampire showed interest in Edward even as she goes to sleep she doesn’t think about it beyond her dream which revolved around her and a vengeful Rosalie. Bella rarely ever thinks about her human friends or family beyond physical dangers to them such as the vampires, she is too consumed in her own life to give thought to her supposed loved ones unless someone mentions them. In Eclipse, Bella does stay with Jake because he will be hurt if she leaves him but she still keeps him around, avoiding the issue until it is painfully forced upon them and she isn’t given a choice since the Volturi know she is still human. That was selfish, there is nothing selfless about Jake/Bella in New Moon. Bella kept Jake around because she was too weak (and rather stupid) to even think about getting over Edward and starting a human life and needed Jake to support her. If Bella were selfless she would have stopped being friends with Jacob and grown a spine as soon as she confirmed that he liked her as more than a friend. If you do comment on this post, please note if your comment contains a SPOILER, in case folks may not have finished the book yet. The debate on WHICH guy that will be rages over at Amazon. See, I’m holding out hope that in the next book, Breaking Dawn, slated for release next year, Bella snaps out of it and ends up with the RIGHT guy - for the right reasons.
ECLIPSE BOOK BY STEPHENIE MEYER SERIES
Although she is a terrible role model for young women (marry young, girls are possessions, let your mate control your life, there is only One True Love, etc), the palpable (and chaste) longing will keep fans of the series swooning.Įclipse is a must-have for YA collections, in spite of the fact that I personally wanted to throw the book across the room when I finished it. Much of this tome is taken up with her obsessing over the events of the backstory, and looking to her future, and whether or not she wants to be married, deflowered, turned, or all three, and when. The allusions to Wuthering Heights elevate the plot and are a nod to the tradition of gothic literature, and may even inspire some teens to pick up a classic.įrustratingly, Bella remains little more than a pawn in this book, trying to please everyone but herself. A scene in which the love triangle are forced to spend a night in a tent together reveals more character than the previous 500 pages. The attention to detail and careful styling are excellent.

The best parts of the book are a long storytelling session in which Billy Black tells the myth of the Third Wife. Per usual, Bella is wrapped up in the middle of it, and in mortal danger. In addition to the “which boy will she pick” dilemma, a parallel conflict is created when a series of brutal murders in the northwest indicates a rogue vampire pack is on the move, and the Cullens are going to be facing a major showdown soon. Jacob just happens to be a werewolf, and werewolves and vampires are sworn enemies. Bella Swan, ordinary high school student, is still madly in love with beautiful vampire Edward Cullen, but it’s complicating her friendship with Jacob Black (the one who was there to pick up the pieces when Edward removed himself from her life). The passion colored ribbon snaking across the cover of Eclipse is a harbringer of rift and bloodshed to come. I’m a sucker for a good vampire novel and Meyer makes monsters romantic again in this third episode of the Twilight series.
