A review by luthereadingqueen
New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

5.0

I cannot properly express my emotions for these books writing (because I'm not that good at it 😂) so I made a video instead!

This is the first part where I start talking about New Moon at 3:59 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nklo_vz2OyY

== Review made before video ==

With this reread I actually tried to act as if I didn't know what was going to happen and I felt Bella's emotions a lot more deeply which was amazing, so I recommend doing that lol :D

On the one hand, Bella can be quite dramatic on this book, more than in Twilight but it does make sense when she explains why she's doing the things she does
she feels like her future as a vampire just vanished and that's a pretty good reason to be sad for me. Imagine you had planned a life where you'd be strong and fast and also be forever with who you think is the love of your life, for all of that to just go away
. And at the same time she's stil her selfless self, trying to act normal so her family wouldn't worry and then making mature decisions regarding her love life.
When she decided to tell Jacob everything about herself before being in a relationship because he deserved to know and then pushing herself to say the right thing to make Edward stop feeling guilty even though she'll be in pain afterwards.


However, Jacob was such a good friend in this book and I'm so mad that he had to like Bella too. I don't understand why she can't have any male friends because all of them want to be in a love relationship with her. I did like how true his fear felt at the beginning of the book and to see him evolve. I also liked the pack, they were quite funny and like brothers except for Sam. I just don't like that guy, not real reason why though.

Aside from that, I liked the Vulturis but they didn't feel as scary as in the movies. Still, Aro is such an interesting character you never know what to expect from him.
Those last moments where we can see the scared woman with the crucifix was really moving for me, I wished I was there to do something for her.


All in all, this series has its flaws but these books are still super addicting and entertaining to read especially when you already love these ones lol.
