I've always loved this series the best. I've read it multiple times, and it never gets old. Everyone should read it.
Emily Starr Trilogy

I found this to be a very beautiful and well written book. L.M. Montgomery has a stirring use of words. The resolution of the last book was played out a little to long, but still it ended well. I highly recommend this book. L.M. Montgomery has proven that she can bring to life more than Anne Shirley.
The Emily Trilogy

I have loved the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery for as long as I knew of them. As with most people I read the Anne books first and fell in love. Then I started searching out her other works, and I know I read the Emily books too. It's years since then, and I'm glad I've retread them.
But I find I really only enjoyed the first book. Getting to know Emily was a pleasure. Montgomery is a master at describing the development of little girls into young women. But the rest of the story wasn't enough to fill two more books. Montgomery's descriptions of nature and particularly that of Prince Edward Island is glorious. But too much glory can be boring. You knew how it would, how it ought, to end but it seemed there weren't enough pages to resolve the communication problems that plagued the characters. I'm just glad to have reached the final curtain.
