This is the fourth and final book of this series. The book is divided into 3 parts. The 1^st and the 3^rd section is written from the perspective of Bella Swan while the 2^nd part is written from the perspective of Jacob Black.

The 1^st part of the story started with Bella marrying Edward and their honeymoon on a private island (isle esme). Then, later, Bella found herself pregnant and her condition is progressing in an unnatural super fast rate. This makes Edward worried and after discussing with Carlisle, Edward suggest abortion but Bella declined and seek the support from Rosalie.

The 2^nd part of the story is from the perspective of Jacob. This part documented Bella’s pregnancy till her delivery.

Review and comment:

I like this book the most out of the 4 books although it receives the most negative critics. The plot about the pregnancy took me by surprise but I think I enjoyed reading it although it is a bit scary and I was so afraid that bella couldn’t survive. I enjoyed the last part of the book the most. It is a pleasure reading the different unique talents that the vampire posses, the determination to protect their love one ( The love in between the Cullen family and towards renesmee) , and the almost break out war between the Cullen and the Volturi is really well written.
