In Which Tension Is Again Undermined
Fallout? Apologies. So Seth get's his shoulder broken by Bella & Jacob's scuffle. Also, since Jacob has imprinted on Nessie (their nickname), the pack can't kill the vampires. Odd rule that. Oh I understand not killing Nessie, and by extension Bella and maybe Edward, but the rest of the clan o' wahmpires? Seems iffy.
Regardless, Jacob allowed Bella's transformation as pack Alpha and has imprinted and thus no longer loves Bella and the pack is off their killing plan so that's all tied up in a neat little boring package without any horrid drama or conflict or other literary devices we might accidentally be interested in. Hooooray for boring tripe.
Reneseameeee is now growing at an exponential rate, with no regard for biology or physiology. Lovely. Her super power is that she can shove memories into your head via telepathy. Her first memory is crazy Bella.
One nice touch is that Jasper had a tough time converting and feels bad and or less manly because Bella is sailing right along with nary a problem. If he only knew that she had special author-imbued talents that he's been denied.
Oh, and it's Bella's birthday. So that's nice. The Cullens give her a key.
SumUp: Does it even matter?
Gods, we're now trudging toward that final milestone and it's not going to go smoothly it seems. Meyer has once again built up the tension and let it deflate with a whimper. No, no, don't bother SHOWING us the fight in detail, just tell us that Seth got his shoulder broken and let it go at that. We'll just fill the rest in ourselves. It's probably better this way.
