So the “curtain falls forever on the March family”. I have come to the end of this series and it’s been and interesting ride. Lots to say.
It’s funny because unlike most book series’s, I read these much more spaced apart. It has taken me about 2 and 3/4 years to read this entire series because I took large gaps in between books. However this did not in anyway tarnish my love for the books and they will remain forever in my heart. I shall definitely come back to them.
When I think back to the first little women book, it seems so long ago in comparison to the timeline of Jo’s Boys. And I suppose it is. In fact, I’m not sure if they mentioned Beth at all in this book. However she is still there, in memory. I saw her in so many ways, the love of music Nat had, the sweetness of Daisy and the way Dan would give everything for those he loved. RIP Beth March, you are loved forever.
I definitely think this is worth reading. It was an amazing conclusion to this beautiful series and it was super nice to have the updates on everyone’s lives and see how the original three sisters and Laurie remained just as wonderful, and how the original Plumfield members (Nat, Demi, Dan, teddy, Emil, Nan, Tommy, daisy etc) has grown. It was also beautiful to see Bess (princess <3) go from this little girl to this wonderful young woman. And I loved Josie and all her theatricals.
It never says if Nat and Daisy do end up together but I like to imagine they will. And though it was heartbreaking to see Dan have to let Bess go, I truly believe they always found each other in the end and though he never married, I am sure he always loved her, and a part of her will always love her Aslauga’s Knight. And the story between Demi and Alice was so nice
Honestly just worth the read if you’ve read the previous books
