Eclipse is the third installment of the Twilight series. Spoilers will be included in this post.
As with the second book, New Moon, i was not too impressed with the writing. I’m also not sure what the writer wants me as the reader to think. Am i supposed to prefer Jacob to Edward? Something tells me that no, i’m supposed to be in love with Edward like everyone else. I think i’m supposed to get that the love she has for Edward is the forever kind of love, and her love for Jacob is just mortal. But, as a reader, i am a bit more in love with Jacob at this point. Is that what i’m supposed to feel?
Given the Jacob thing, I’m also not on board anymore that she should become a vampire. From what i’ve heard and read, lots of people are waiting and hoping the Edward eventually makes her a vampire so they can be together forever and live happily ever after. And i did want that for Bella after the first book. But not anymore. Now i think she should remain human. Alas, at the end of Eclipse, while Bella is still human, the plans are all made for the marriage to Edward and the turning of Bella.
So, i’m confused. I like Jacob better, but up til now the whole series has been about Bella and Edward. And i do like Edward, i just think everyone would be better off if the girl remained human. I’ll be extremely interested in how the story ends, but i’m not sure i’ll be happy about it.
