I have a different set of reasons than most
How was the set?
Spoiler Alert:I find myself annoyed that the ending worked out the way it did.  There was such a build-up for the battle that I was aching for some action.  I was almost certain Aro would bring on the chaos.  But no, peace prevails, and they live happily ever after.  Perhaps Meyers went this route since it is a young adult series.  But it seemed like an easy way out.  Had she wanted to continue the series, the battle could have occurred with us not knowing the outcome while Jacob flees with Renesmee.  A cliffhanger that would have us all waiting with baited breath for the next release.  And here she did so well fleshing out many of the newcomers toward the end.  But for what?  Plus, she fails to resolve that fact that Bella and the Cullen's are okay with letting their kind continue slaughtering humans.  I would have extended the series with the golden eyes growing in numbers and a show down coming against the crimson eyes.  If Bella is such a good person, a natural protector, a shield for others, how can she just go on forever living blissfully knowing her own mother and father, or members of the pack could be slaughtered by vampires that don't care about them?  I just see so much potential in the story once the plot gets beyond Bella's gawking of Edward and her remorse for Jacob.  I daresay it is almost idiotic to go into so much detail about the Volturi and all these vampires and then just say 'the end.'  I see why the reviews are less than the other books, although I have a different set of reasons than most.  The birth scene didn't bother me, nor did the lack of romance at the honeymoon.  People get hung up on the most banal things.  I actually think this was the best book by far as it was easily the most compelling.  But Meyers blew it by wrapping everything into a nice little bow and ending it so suddenly.  I am not against happy endings, but in this case it is just too much.  Even fantasy worlds wouldn't have endings like this.  Come on.  That and the gaping moral loophole that I mentioned just leave me thinking Meyers got tired of the series and threw in the towel.  The Volturi should have been destroyed.  They are murderers!  Hello?  And then the Cullens should have become the new rule setters and forced their breed to go 'vegetarian' or be torn apart and burned.Anyway.  I recommend Gabaldon's Outlander series to you all.  She makes Meyers look like the amateur(albeit talented) author she is.  Gabaldon's depth and understanding of romance makes Bella and Edward's look silly in comparison.  You will not be disappointed.
