A review by siraels
Anne of Ingleside by L.M. Montgomery
4.0
4 stars
After all of the not so good reviews, I didn't really have high hopes for this book. And I'm so glad I didn't because I enjoyed it so much! It definitely wasn't perfect and it isn't the best book in the series but I still really liked it.
Many people complain about Anne not really being in this book and that's kinda true. Like I read in some other review, she just sometimes appears, gives some motherly advice to her children and then leaves again. I would like her to be a bigger part of the story and I agree with the fact that Anne's jealousy was completely over the top and off. That definitely wasn't the Anne we knew.
But I have to admit I liked those stories of Anne and Gilbert's children. It reminded me a bit of the first book Anne of Green Gables even though it was really different. I really liked Rilla with the cake and I wish there would be more of her but now it made me kinda excited for the last book in the series which is all about Rilla. I also wished there would be some story from Shirley's point of view because we don't know anything about him.
I still wish there would be more of Diana and Gilbert because they kinda hardly appear in it and they seem like completely different people. But overall, I kinda liked it and I'm glad I didn't have such high hopes.
