HollywoodNews.com: �The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner� (Stephenie Meyer�s Twilight series companion novella) has been hailed as a foil for the series. Though nothing has been announced to this effect, mixed reviews for the final novel in the series may prompt Meyer to launch a similar exercise to plug holes in �Breaking Dawn�.
Emerging reviews say it plainly: �The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner� tells us much we didn�t know about the original Twilight saga, particularly about the vamps. Even MTV�s Hollywood Crush picked up on how scenes written about only in the Bree Tanner book not-so-mysteriously show up in the film version of �Eclipse�. In an article published today, it says Meyer �flat out admitted� in a USA Today interview that the novella was deliberately introduced in advance to dovetail with additional scenes in the film.
It begs a good question: what will Meyer do next? She is known to have written other unused material for Twilight. Though it may do little at this point in the film series to release �Midnight Sun� (the Twilight book from Edward�s point of view), might she release another character novella that serves jointly to embellish upon �Breaking Dawn�?
Some would say she ought to. The largest opportunity for Meyer would be clarifying or enhancing elements of the �Breaking Dawn� story misunderstood or disliked by fans. Under fire in reviews of the book are plot elements such as Jacob imprinting on Edward and Bella�s daughter, Renesmee, logic around the relative effectiveness of �talented� vampires and their powers, and lack of credibility around the calling off of the final battle.
