I really feel that the spin-off Eclipse novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is forced and corny! First off, why Bree Tanner? Is she significant? Is there anything in her very, very limited existence in Eclipse that warranted such a spin-off? Secondly, why her of all the very insignificant characters?? Why not the soldier who saved Jasper Hale‘s life? Or someone insignificant in the Volturi? Lastly, I do feel Stephenie Meyer is pulling a J.K. Rowling in this move to release a spin-off.
Can you recall that time when Ms. Rowling was asked if she ever considered creating a whole story about any of the other characters in the Harry Potter series? She said that she’s actually considering doing a novel for Neville Longbottom, the other one who was born at the same day Harry Potter did. Sure, Neville is a major character in the series. But it’s the same idea, don’t you think?
I just feel that Meyer is pulling a stunt with this Bree Tanner novella and is trying to be cool by opting to create a whole novel out of a very, very insignificant character.
I know you get my drift.
