CHAPTER SUMMARY: Jacob breaks off from the pack with Seth and goes to help the Cullens. Pretty much it.
NOTES/THOUGHTS/COMMENTARY:
Well, as I predicted Jacob doesn't follow Sam's orders. But instead of challenging Sam he breaks off from the pack and forms his own with Seth...or something. I don't honestly understand this sudden compulsion thing Meyer is talking about. It was never once mentioned in the other books from what I remember but from the way it's described it's like the pack members have no choice but to follow the alpha, in this case Sam, even if they don't agree with the decisions being made. Boy, Meyer is really big on taking away people's free will isn't she? Girls don't have a choice but to love the guy who imprinted on them (and they likewise have no choice but to love her), Bella has no choice but to love Edward (according to her anyway), and now even the pack members don't really have a choice but to follow Sam even if they don't want to. Because I can bet Leah would love to break off from the pack considering the way they all treat her. But we can't have that because she's female so instead Jacob somehow magically is able to overcome pack compulsion and stands up to Sam.
I know this all sounds exciting and I too was actually going "yay, finally something going on!" but it actually turns out to be quite boring. Jacob basically lectures Sam and is all "oh no, I won't fight you that's wrong" and then runs off to join the Cullens, Seth of course joins Jacob. Once again, possible excitement/conflict is avoided in favor of dragging out the story. Sigh.
Jacob and Seth meet up with the Cullens and explain that the pack is planning an attack. The rest of the chapter is basically all of them waiting for the attack. Oh, and Bella has gotten worse. That's it. Even the one exciting thing going on in this book is boring and utterly predictable. Sorry this one is so short but literally this is all that happens so I don't have much to talk about/rant about other then what I've been complaining of since the beginning: this is absurd and boring and doesn't make much sense and to top it off is poorly written.
WORD LIST: none
GENERAL ANNOYANCES: conflict avoided yet again.
