Mrs. Kent and Dean Priest just get worse, both slightly tolerable in the first, but now, uber creepy obsessive and inappropriate behaviour . These novels are pretty dark. I'm actually glad to be reading them as an adult, because I don't think I would have appreciated them as a tween.

If you are like me, and you have read the Anne of Green Gables Series, you have also wanted to read the Emily Trilogy. This is the second book, and I am still trying to decide which main character I like better: Anne Shirley or Emily Starr. Maybe I am being unfair, and I should take each one as it is. They are very similar, and I appreciate the descriptions of Prince Edward Island.
Emily Climbs is just as good as Emily of New Moon, and I will go on to read the third books.

Re-read. Emily's extended family is a piece of work. I like that she stands up for herself when she needs to but is also honest about her shortcomings.

Emily is off to high school. Now she has to deal with catty girls and all the random boys who want to court her. She is still trying to climb the Alpine Path with her writing, but living under a very strict rule by her aunts. Her biggest challenge is living with Aunt Ruth (and facing, once again, her second sight).

I liked the end of the book the best. The middle of the book was often flowery, and the last few chapters brought the plot back in business. I admire Emily's courage and honesty. Montgomery's description of Emily's intuition and struggle to make decisions was so on point that I had flashbacks to my college days. I'm curious to see if Emily has any three o' morning regrets in book #3.
I couldn't help but wonder if the bottom of pg 310 (Chapter 24) was actually Montgomery's personal rant, even though a part it reads, "they'll all think you're the heroine of your own stories..."
