...no clue at this distance. It’s possible that I went on the heuristic that Bella was now too powerful or had too many of her conflicts resolved, and that transferring the viewpoint to a younger and less powerful character seemed highly likely.
Well, score one for me! Too bad this leads me to believe most of the Cullen’s really are dead, will die, or become otherwise unsalvageably crazy. If there’s any indication that Bella survives Jasper in the last chapter I’m going to bet on Edward being alive too, though. It seems an awful waste if she were to die just when she has learned to sense her shield and may be able to be taught or teach herself to extend it to others, which is kind of crucial in a fight against the Volturi, unless more original characters are involved.
The sequel will in fact be narrated by Elspeth.
Huh. Guessed that.
If you know who Elspeth is, you’ve read at least 15,000 words of the fic (or skipped a whole lot); where’s my review? ;)
As a calibration exercise—do you remember why/how you guessed that?

It had more to do with the fact that occupying Bella’s head would have been depressing and tedious until the reveal of the thing.
