Somehow I was able to finish Breaking Dawn last night, which is now one of my all-time favorite books! Something shocking happened when the Volturi arrived to destroy the Cullens. The witnesses did their part by telling them the truth about Renesmee, and then they even showed Renesmee to the Volturi so she could "show" them that Edward and Bella were her biological parents. While the Volturi consulted, even after seeing Renesmee themselves, the Cullen's odds didn't seem that great. But somehow, they were able to convince the Volturi she was not dangerous and that she is not completely immortal and they left. There was no fight, no deaths. No one in the history of vampires had accomplished such a thing. Everyone of course was thrilled, especially Edward and Bella. Now they can live happily with each other and Renesmee forever. I really liked the happy ending of the book, but I kinda wish the Volturi's hadn't been that easy to convince. It would have made it a little more interesting to have a fight or something. I really hope Stephenie Meyer comes out with more books following Breaking Dawn! I'm dying to know now how Edward and Bella end up, and especially what happens with Renesmee. Overall, though, this was one of the best books I've ever read, and really, the best series of books I've ever read.
