Breaking Dawn Summary

I don't want to give too much information away considering this is the last book in the series so I can just say this; the book is divided into three sections, and two different points of veiw- Bella, Jacob, and then Bella again. Also this book introduces a new charater, Rennesme. She is the hybrid of Edward and Bella and is half human half vampire so she grows and develops as any other human will, but has amazing beauty and talent only found in vampires. So the main issues in this novel are the Volturi and Rennesme. Is Rennesme a newborn vampire? Is it allowed? Is she a danger to the vampire world? Leave it to the Volturi to find out.
