I always like the Anne books, and this one was no exception. I found it surprisingly heavy in parts, I was unprepared for Anne's adulthood I suppose. I appreciate the slowness of the narrative, and the descriptions of nature. It reminds me to slow down too.
I felt it was too bad that Gilbert didn't feature more in this one, as he was absent in the previous book as well, and though they were living together this time, we didn't see much of him. I missed Green Gables too, but Anne has grown and moved away now, it makes sense. Her little house of dreams was lovely to visit.
Leslie's story arc was compelling, and I was happy with how it resolved, though that kind of story could never have happened now.
Miss Cornelia was quite the character, she made me laugh quite a bit. I wasn't so sure about how her arc came to an end, maybe Montgomery didn't know what to do with her. I think she was writing a lesbian and she just didn't know it.

The first half felt like it had a lot of details about characters I didn’t know, but by the end, I started to care about them too and wish them well.
