After reading this (for almost 5 hours) online, I definitely feel a lot of sympathy towards the newborns who were merely pawns in Victoria's quest for revenge. After reading this you will care about what happens to her, even though as a Twilight fan you'll already know the outcome...a tragic end for Bree. Maybe you'll be left feeling, as Meyer was, that Bree's outcome should have been different. She deserved better. It was amazing to get Bree's side of the story to see her have the same struggles as twilight favorites such as love, devotion and pure confusion as well as the all new newborn experience which Bella didn't go through. It actually makes me appreciate Edward a lot more for his compassion; and love Bree as a strong-willed intelligent character. It's a shame it couldn't end well for her, but knowing this Stephanie Meyer did something quite amazing in that she brought the story to a place where you knew it was going to happen, Bree knew it was going to happen and you kind of wanted that for her, that final peace as the truth becomes known to the ones that need to know and yet again love is avenged.

After finishing this, I went back and re-read Bree's main scene in Eclipse (p. 568-578 in paperback), and I loved reading the story from both perspectives. Getting inside Bree's head was really interesting, while it was also great to go back and revisit the scene through Bella's eyes. I also enjoyed Bree's exchanges with Carlisle, Esme and Edward. Mostly Edward. I've missed him since the books ended. Meyer really needs to release Midnight Sun sometime soon!

A brilliant read and an amazing brilliant character! Another good short book by Stephenie Meyer to read!
