Critical Reception
- "Fans of the first novel may be disappointed that Edward is hardly in this one at all. But the target audience, teen girls, won't mind. Romantic misery has its appeal, and this author does it better than most, all the while keeping the objectionable content low and the suspense and excitement rolling."—Common Sense Media1
- "Meyer deepens and enriches her mythology, introducing new families and races that complicate Bella and Edward's story. If readers have any complaint about New Moon, it will be that the story, at least for the middle 400 pages, doesn't have enough magic"—Teen Reads2
