User blog comment:Alexa dreamer20/So much criticism for BD.../@comment-72.235.13.99-20101204052402

I would like to add that Rosalie, as a whole in the series (not just BD, but mainly the first three books) was also create to be Bella's antagonist in the Cullen family; no character is supposed to be loved by everyone. But Rosalie was a somewhat poorly executed way to portray that particular imperfection, even though I think she's one of the better characters of the Cullens. And I agree about the Emmett thing whole-heartedly...

I think the characters were too... I don't know, precious, perhaps, to Meyer, to the point where she couldn't let anything TOO bad happen to them (the main ones, anyway.) Hence why none of the main characters are killed or even close to killed without it being somewhat obvious they'd live.

Breaking Dawn was... honestly, bad. I hightly disliked the parts involving Renesmee. The parts with the Wolf Pack were okay (props to Leah for standing up for Jacob.) With everything I've learned about trying to create balanced characters, Renesmee rocked off the charts with the "Mary-Sue" rating.
