Renesmee?

After talking to a lot of friends/family about this book in particular I've been able to come up with a conclusion. People who like happy endings love this book. People who find happy endings smarmy hate this book. Having that knowledge equipped I tried to keep myself impartial because it is a happy ending but I was not on board with a significant portion of the book, and it's an enormous lump of a book...Bella doesn't have to sacrifice anything. Not that she is required to by any means but...she gets every thing she wants, I suppose readers are conditioned into expecting some sort of tradeoff.

There was a lot to like...I liked the pack stuff with Jacob, any scene with Seth in it is a great scene! I liked hearing about the other vampires' abilities...but I just got supporting character overload in the last section of the book. One thing Nate and I brought up several times during the reading of this one is how much Edward seems to lose his bite (hah).
