Meyer was raised in Phoenix, Arizona and attended Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. In 1992, Meyer won a National Merit Scholarship, which helped fund her undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where she received a BA in English Literature in 1997.


INTRODUCTION:



Since Bella recently graduated from high school Edward promised Bella to marry her after graduation. So Edward couldn't make any more excuses than to marry Bella. They get married between a small function and they set off to a private island to celebrate the honeymoon.
Bella finds herself that she is pregnant. But since she is carrying a half-vampire and half-human fetus her body faces a lot of negative consequences. She grows weaker day by day and faces a near-death experience.
However, she and her child are safe. Bella gains a new life. But now the threat has been shifted from Bella to her child. All of her vampire friends gather to make a plan to save her child from the ultimate vampires, Volturi.
They are to face a life or death situation where they can either be victorious or meet their vampire endings.


ANALYSIS:



This is the very last book of the series with its ultimate ending.
This book is divided into three halves. The first half is from Bella's
narrative while the second half is from Jacob's narrative and its obvious ending is from Bella's narrative. I found this way of telling the story from two different characters points of view quite impressive. This book is nonetheless the best book than its preceding novels.
What impressed me the most in this book is the characterization of Bella. The innocent, gullible, naive and boring Bella is drastically changed to fierce, confident, powerful, optimistic and strong Bella. She has gained a lot of positive attitude towards everything from protecting her daughter from Volturi to maintaining her friendship with Jacob. The author did a great job of changing my loathful charmer to my favourite character.

The marriage of Bella and Edward is so emotional. Her relationship with her father as a human for the last time is purely sympathetic and delicate. I get so indignant at Bella at this part. Though she has a choice to not be away from her family she is deliberately pushing herself far from all those human emotions and relationships. In the end, this is fiction anyway.


CRITICISM:



It is bothering that she doesn’t seem to recognise that her whole life is in front of her and doesn’t care about her future or education and what she cares about is only her boyfriend. She has stupid for this.

After she gets pregnant Cullens to keep Bella away from meeting her father. Just to hide his own daughter's weakness at childbirth. This is so unfair and wrong.

I found the ending overly dramatic. The middle and the beginning plotline of the novel is so great that you think the novel gonna end the same way. But to a greater disappointment, the novel ending is just a dream of someone. If the novel could have ended the same way there could be one more series of novels for sure. Which would be great for the Twilight fans.


MY CLOSING THOUGHTS:



I extremely loved this book the most the reason being Bella's characterization. This book is the coolest of all four. There is everything a teenager wish to find in a book. It includes drama, fiction, action and romance required for happy reading.

I couldn't believe that there is already an ending to the vampire legacy. The ending is so captivating you are sure to have an imprint of the novel for year's. This is best book of all the novels so far. I didn't like or admire the previous novels but I do not hesitate to say this is the best ending to a worst beginning. Either you are able to hate the novel or love the novel but surely you are not able to ignore the novel.  

So if you have read all the four novels or watched the movie , which one is your favourite??

HAPPY READING 💕
