For All Eternity 1



So at the end, Bella was able to get her own small but perfect piece of her forever with her Edward, Renesmee and the rest of her vampire family. But it took her four, thick books to reach that finale and bid ‘the end’ to the readers. I think it is really anti-climatic to write about the ending, but that exactly what the Twilight saga was.

The debut book ‘Twilight’ was really a literary genius. Offering the readers a new perspective about the vampire world, making them fall in love with Edward and Bella and pushing them in the edge of their seat as the Cullens fought against the vampires who wants to hunt Bella.

The second book New Moon was one of the best rebound books of all time. Edward left Bella, supposedly for her own sake. He abandoned her and it was as if her heart was ripped out of her chest and her soul was sucked out of her body. The readers sympathized with Bella, understanding her grief and rebellion. The readers almost rooted for Jacob, who was there to be a good friend who can ease the ‘hole in her chest’. But with some twist of fate, rather, by excellent writing or Stephenie Meyer, Edward wished to end his life, Bella and Alice went to Italy to try and rescue him, thus meeting the sinister Volturi coven. The book wrapped up by Bella and Edward back in each other’s arms and the threat of the Volturi to destroy Bella who is security hazard to the vampire secrecy, effectively leaving the readers clamoring for more.
