The character of Bree was full of life and personality. It was amazing how much Stephenie Meyers brought her to life in this short novella. There is no doubt that this is a tragedy through and through but one with satisfying yet bitter end. I would love to see the other books in the series in the future should Stephenie Meyer's revisit this world. She already has Side characters such as Leah in the main story that she spoke of possibly revisiting in the future. I could see having Fred joining the Cullen's in the future and somehow being perfect match for Leah.
There's really no spoiler to be had given that even the author lets the reader know a front about the story and the fact that it came out after the publication of book 3. It does give a more in depth view into the world of twilight. We see just how easily it is for these newborn vampires to be fooled and controlled by their instincts. I was surprised how well the author manage to make Bree sympathetic and engaging protagonist despite being a blood-sucking monster. She even was able to create a few relationships that seemed to have even more depth than the original twilight book LOL. I say that as a joke but also in truth that the characters felt for each other and grew to care for each other based upon actions and more than just simple I like you because you're hot or in Edwards case to Bella I like you because I can't read your mind and your blood makes me crazy.
A novela that is set in the middle of a series has the advantage of not having to world build. it is meant for readers with knowledge of the series and characters so you can get a short and sweet story that is rather impactful.
I would encourage everyone who has enjoyed the twilight series to buy this novella and more to the point I would say even if you never read the twilight books the short novella is well worth the read. It is an engaging tragedy that will pull you in and hit you in the feels. It also showcases the talent that is Stephenie Meyers in telling a story without showing her hand. It was surprising to see how much personality she managed to shove into Bree in such a short time..
