First
of all, I don't think anything Stephenie Meyer writes can top the Twilight saga or The Host, and The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is
one of them. It was nice to have a completely different narrative
outside of the Twilight characters.
It was more harsh and raw than Twilight, but it didn't have
the magic and enchantment that I experienced when I read the saga.
Another
thing I didn't like about this novella is that it had no chapters, so
there was no good place to stop!
However, I like books that show
something hidden from the reader that you didn't know was there before.
In Bree Tanner, we get to go
back and see a whole scene told from someone else who fits in the pieces
and reveals the complete story.
