Thus far this has been my favourite book of the series.
Montgomerys writing is just as beautiful as ever and she truly excells in nature descriptions. What newly grasped my attention (and love) is how she captured the complex emotions of growing up and leaving your home. I am actually in quite a similar situation currently and therefore teared up a few times.
Plot wise, the stroy is much more thicker then in the previous book. We follow Anne through a big chunk of her early adult life and as a consequence explore quite divers themes: female friendship, grief, love, change and so on.
I absolutley loved the very prominent Gilbert Blythe storyline, which i yearned for since book one.
Overall, it is such a comfort book and i hold very dear to my heart.
