Breaking Dawn is the 4th book in the Twilight series. From the beginning of the book, the suspense and action that was present in the three previous books is once again present. Bella and Edward's relationship is challenged by her friend Jacob, and several unexpected events that unfold early in the book. These events also challenge the relationship between the werewolves, Bella and her father, and more. A new controversial character is introduced into the text causing many conflicts for all the characters, eventually bringing all the characters together to fight a final battle that will greatly influence their future. The setting is in the Cullen’s home for the most part and it is an important factor in the text and influences many of the major events that take place. Compared to the other three books, Breaking Dawn has more unexpected events and action, however the ending is not as fulfilling as one would wish. Although it is the end of the series as of now, it is not as exciting as the series as a whole. However, anyone who is interested in the Twilight series will find the excitement they are looking for with this book.
