Well, hmm what to say. Okay here goes.

1) I felt Bree was a stronger character than Bella ever was
2) It was nice to see the battle of the Cullens/werewolves versus Victoria/newbies told from the losing side's viewpoint
3) I felt this novella was a less preachy than the series

What did confuse me, and perhaps others have pointed this out but in twilight, Bella discribes Edward's hair as "bronze-colored". Yet in this novella, Bree describes Edward as the "redheaded mind reader".

I had mixed feelings before I started this book. When I think about the Twilight series, I immediately associate everything with Edward and Bella.

3.5/5. There were a few interesting bits in this book that make it worth reading if you read the Twilight series. The most interesting parts to me:
1) The ferry scene
2) The battle scenes from an alternate perspective.
3) The sharing of information between Bree and Edward near the end.
