Okay, if you read my Twilight review, you basically have the mkain story things for this book.

I would actually give this book a 3/5. I found reading this back to back with Twilight that I got bored a lot (having essentially read the same story twice in a row). I found that the book was about 150-200 pages too long. Twilight was only 498 (I think?), while this one was 662. During the last 10 chapters, some important character conversations I thought would have been added weren’t, and throughout the whole book a lot of conversations that didn’t really needed to be included were. Although, I did like the gaps that were filled during time jumps in the first book.

The extra star, making it a 4/5 for me was continuity. You can actually tell that time and thought was put into this book. All of the moments from the first one line up perfectly. The original story was published in 2005, so I was expecting some slip ups with the 15 years between novels. But... there were none. You can also tell that Stephanie Meyer actually gave a shit about her fans, dedicating the book to them and acknowledging them at the end. It was cool to see that she actually cared. Now, if only we could get a book based on only Alice... (btw, I’m team Alice all the way as she was one of my lesbian awakenings when I was like 11).
