I read this just out of obligation to finish the series, but there’s very little Anne in Anne of Ingleside. The story mainly focuses on her six children and while it’s nice to see the aspects of Anne they have inherited, this is not the book for fans of the whimsical world of Anne Shirley.
Interesting to have Anne's attributes scattered throughout her children.
Blythe is still a drag.

'Anne always liked to get up early and catch that mystical half-hour before sunrise when the world belongs to the fairies and the old gods'.
Everytime I read another Anne book I admire the beautiful writing. She really knows how to see beauty in the little things in nature.

It was a fun, cozy read. Although don't expect to see much of Anne tho, aside from the "jealousy" plotline (idk why it's stressed so much on the blurb, it only takes a few chapters right by the end). Most of the book is slice-of-life about the Blythe kids, which is fun, but we don't get much of a peek onto Anne's world. I disagree with some of the reviews tho, it feels completely in character that Anne would weave an entire "affair" on one day, she has been shown to be prone of derailing a bit esp when stressed.
Overall it was a nice catch up on what the Blythe family is doing, as well as some old friends from previous books.
