Stephenie Mayer – The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner [REVIEW]

Title: The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

Rating: 3.5/5

This book is essentially a companion novella to the Twilight series, focusing on a minor character who I remember being mentioned but whose role I’d totally forgotten about. In fact, I’m still not too sure about that.

Still, I thought it was a fun little novella, and one which helped to bring the world of the vampires to life. Bree was potentially the most relatable of all of the characters that we come across, and that makes this tale something of a tragedy. After all, her second life is cut… well, pretty short.

Interestingly, that puts us in a place where we know exactly how this story is going to end up, and yet we keep on reading it anyway. The title gives the game away, like it does in They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. That provides an interesting dynamic between author and reader.

Some delightfully whimsical fun from the legendary Dr. Seuss, this is a children’s book that teaches kids the value of persistency in the face of adversity. But it’s also just a quirky little story.
