^An examination of the timelines in the books and how in many ways it actually doesn't make sense for Anne's kids to be in WWI.

(I agree about the later books, btw. I usually stop at Anne of the Island or Anne's House of Dreams at the latest. My mom adores Rainbow Valley but at that point I'm over it. I care about Anne, not her kids.)

That was a fascinating analysis, thank you for the link.

Yeah, I don't like the later books when the focus shifts to Anne's children as the main characters. It's just... a bit too precious, occasionally repetitive and there are TOO MANY DAMN KIDS to be interesting or have individual personalities. Also, WWI is depressing.

Anne also doesn't feel quite herself anymore either. There are still flickers of the old Anne in the later books, but they are few and far between. It is like she became a completely different person once she married and had kids. I get that it is a product of the time it was written. I still hate it.

Yeah, you're not wrong. Getting married and having kids doesn't have to be the end of a person's imagination and creativity, but that seemed to be the case for Anne's character. She slowly fades from the series until she's just a vague maternal figure on the edge of the story. Sad.
