In Which .... wait.. what?
Life sucks and then you die. Yeah, I should be so lucky.
That's the whole chapter, and since I'm doing this daily I'm just going to take some stock of the situation.
We're changing Point Of View.
No kidding. Of 3 books and the first "book" of this double-book, we've moved away from Bella's point of view only once: in the epilogue of book 3. As with that switch, we're going to Jacob Black; the conniving, sex assaulting, third wheel, ex-boyfriend of Ms. Cullen nee Swan.
Ode de Joy.
Prior to the prologue we get a chapter lineup, so I assume Jacob will be giving us a new POV through the 11 chapters when Bella will be dealing with the icky pregnancy and birth stuff and that'd apparently be too boring seeing as she's the main focus of this series and Meyer lacks the skill (I have to assume) to carry a story from the POV of a bedridden *cough* protagonist.
Fine. Jacob it is. Why not Edward? Why not ALICE? She's reverted to a clothing obsessed tagalong. Why not Emmett or Jasper, to whom we've barely been introduced. How about Charlie? Imagine THAT perspective.
But no. It's Jacob, who suffered so much at the hands of Meyer in the last book. Jacob, who is only interesting when he's cuckolding Edward or assaulting/plotting to assault Bella.
I hate you, Stephenie Meyer.
