Eclipse (en español) » (Spanish-language Edition)

After the publication of Twilight, her sensational debut novel, Publishers Weekly chose Stephenie Meyer as one of the "most promising new authors of 2005" -- a prediction that proves true with each subsequent book.

Mientras la ciudad de Seattle es arrasada por una serie de misteriosos asesinatos y un vampiro maligno continúa su búsqueda por venganza, Bella vuelve a verse rodeada por peligro. En el medio de todo, se ve obligada a elegir entre su amor por Edward y su amistad con Jacob, sabiendo que su decisión tiene todos los ingredientes necesarios para desatar la guerra eterna entre vampiros y hombres lobo. Conforme se aproxima su graduación, Bella tiene que enfrentar una decisión más: vivir o morir. Pero, ¿cuál es cuál?

Publishers Weekly

The legions of readers who are hooked on the romantic struggles of Bella and the vampire Edward will ecstatically devour this third installment of the story begun in Twilight, but it's unlikely to win over any newcomers. Jake, the werewolf met in New Moon, pursues Bella with renewed vigilance. However, when repercussions from an episode in Twilightplace Bella in the mortal danger that series fans have come to expect, Jake and Edward forge an uneasy alliance. The plot patterns have begun to show here, but Meyer's other strengths remain intact. The supernatural elements accentuate the ordinary human dramas of growing up. Jake and Edward's competition for Bella feels particularly authentic, especially in their apparent desire to best each other as much as to win Bella. Once again the author presents teenage love as an almost inhuman force: "[He] would have been my soul mate still," says Bella, "if his claim had not been overshadowed by something stronger, something so strong that it could not exist in a rational world." According to Meyer, the fourth book should tie up at least the Edward story, if not the whole shebang. Ages 12-up. (Aug.)
