    The Volturi - what did you learn about them?

    Bree senses their power, even before she knows who/what they are. She sees the black cloaks, moving in *diamond* formation and instinctively understands that they are to be feared. What do you feel you learned about the Volturi in this book?

    Yes, they are an intimidating bunch, even to those who are totally clueless about them.
    The "reaper" style cloaks, their ghost like walk...

    The diamond formation was interesting.
    Diamonds, hard, brilliant, not easily destroyed.

    The Volturi's presence brings with it a feeling of dread.

    I see now how truly menacing they are.
    It must have taken a lot for so many to stand up to them in BD.

    Another thing we got to see in this book, is the impact of Jane's "talent", the excruciating pain Jane can inflict with a mere look. In the other books, we get a second hand look at it. Since the other books are told from Bella's POV, we see how watching Edward writhe in pain affects Bella, but we don't really get a first hand understanding of the pain that's being inflicted.

    Great point.
    I remember when I was reading Bree's description of her pain I was horrified.

    For certain Felix is one of them. The others could just be part of the regular guard.

    I would guess that Demtri was there as well. Wasn't he the one that has the super tracking ability?

    I would say that the three that were with Jane were Alec,Felix and Demitri. She would not go anywhere without Demitri the tracker, and as the Romanians call them the "witch twins" she'd never go anywhere without Alec.

    Re: The Volturi - what did you learn about them?

    I was very interested to learn that the Volturi had intervened so directly with Victoria. There was always the hint that they knew something of what was going on and that they held back on destroying the Newborns, but for me, it was very insightful to see that they actually visited Victoria and essentially sanctioned the attack on the Cullens. For me this confirmed their corruption, where before, I might have allowed some benefit of the doubt.
    Also interesting that Edward knew for definite from reading Bree's toughts what happened between the Volturi and Victoria. I will revamp BD now with this new insight.

    True, but Alec wasn't that far away.

    They lied to the Cullens, acted like they didn't know what was really happening.
    How come Edward didn't see the truth in Jane's mind but did in Bree's???
    And didn't Jane think Edward could see it???

    I didn't hesitate this time, climbing in the passenger side quickly, the sooner to see his face. He grinned his crooked smile at me, stopping my breath and my heart. I couldn't imagine how an angel could be any more glorious. Bella Swan....Twilight
