So far this isn't grabbing my attention. Does it get better? Should I keep going?

it’s raining outside…. summer is practically over… I fear it’s time for a twilight reread. wonder what I think of it now, reading it again for the first time with a fully developed frontal lobe

so, the reason the wolves are transforming again (and in big numbers this time) is because of the cullens coming back to forks. their very presence forces a bunch of poor teenage boys to shapeshift into wolves. for someone as empathetic and kind as carlisle is portrayed to be, going back to a place where you’re actively screwing up a lot of lives….?

most of the wolves are miserable: relationships are broken, faces are being maimed, women are made infertile, babies are being imprinted on… all because the cullens just have to settle there.

like, go literally anywhere else???

this has been nice so far. the world-building isn't info dumpy, just "and this person is X from X land/era and did this X thing" and you're like, "sure okay, i trust you". prose is interesting, a bit slow but you can tell it's putting pieces/characters in place before the story takes off

I don’t know if it’s just me, but this book really wore me out. The pacing and density just made it feel like such a slog at times, and by the end, I was more relieved than satisfied. I’m glad to have finished it, but honestly, it left me more exhausted than moved.

its kinda hilarious to me how, only 2 chapters into eclipse, bella goes “i needed therapy” because she spends ONE afternoon thinking edward is keeping secrets from her.

girl… where was this attitude throughout the entirety of new moon? THAT is when you really needed some therapy

man, rereading is as an adult is really whack

Haven't gotten very far but frickin LOVE THE COVER. Makes me so happy every time I see it 🥹💕😭

okay so I just finished new moon and was reading the acknowledgments…. stephanie is not very good with coming up with names apparently, and named most of the wolf pack after her actual siblings. who in their right minds would write a book, name a character after their real life brother and THEN MAKE THEM A LOVE INTEREST??? just whyyy? 🤢
