This has been my favorite book since rereading the series. So much happened, and the characters of Four Winds were written so vibrantly. I can picture each as if I’d seen them in a movie. I was especially excited to meet Miss Cornelia Bryant. Some parts of this book were heartbreaking, but it captures the essence of Anne’s romanticism.

It's lovely to be back in Anne's world and catch a glimpse of her life with Gilbert - though I was disappointed not to see much of their interactions. 
I'd forgotten how easy these books are to read and how gorgeously romantic Anne's descriptions of nature are - it gives my mind a break and makes me feel cheerful. 

I was, however, saddened by the amount of ableism in this book. Although I know it's a product of the time, it was still difficult to read that people were literally praying to God that the disabled man would die. 
Otherwise it is everything I'd expect from this series, and far better than book 4.

Made myself finish this book. I got fed up with gossiping neighbours in the previous one already. But here it continues. I'm not quite sure if it is meant to be funny or is this serious. Also Anne is supposed to be pregnant in this book. Twice! Yet we only get a hint about her going to have the first baby. And her son comes out of nowhere, like no hint at all. 
Also like she's in labour for the whole night with her first one, but the sentence we get is about her husband coming downstairs after "a night of agony". My dude, what the fuck?! You did not just give birth to a baby, you have no right to speak of agony! 
Anyways, I won't be continuing the series.
