1) The Chelsea thing is a good idea pissed away, actually. That's a creepy and extremely effective power--brainwashing you to do what they want, but in a way that makes it seem like you are the one who wants it? That's perfect loyalty, and much better than fear. But it's pissed away because Meyer tries to handwave it with, "But it won't work on us because we all love each other and don't eat people." So....why do we care about Chelsea if she doesn't work on that? Not to mention....DON'T SOME OF THE VOLTURI MEMBERS HAVE TRUE LOVES? THEN HOW DID SHE MANAGE TO BRAINWASH THEM? *hits head against a wall*
2) Um....I don't know if you're accurate about your chapter count. Aren't there...thirty-NINE chapters?
