Incredible. The beginning was a bit slow but you quickly get invested. I watched Anne With An E on Netflix when it came out so I knew a good deal about the world of Avonlea but I enjoyed this all the same. I adore Anne and her world.

Matthew’s death made me cry, which doesn’t happen often. Anne’s grief and the initial inability to cry reminded me so much of when my grandparents passed. It was a bit cathartic to be able to relate to a characters grief for once.

I really recommend this series, I’ll be starting Anne of Avonlea in the morning.
