I will start off by saying I've never read Anne of Green Gables so I can't compare the two!
I had a lot of issues with the characters and how they treated the main character, Alice. Especially the grandmother. I think the author could have done better to make the grandma stern but not harsh. She belittled Alice and completely tore down her character at the same time that all of Alice's old friends and companions were doing the same thing to her.
It felt like there was very little hope in a book targeted for children. The bleakness of it dimmed the story. It wasn't sweet and whimsical, it was dark and misty because there were so many devastating moments and scenes.
I didn't really enjoy this and I had a tough time making my way through it.

Kindred Dragons was a beautiful story. They got it right when they described it like Anne of Green Gables with dragons! I am excited to read more from the world and to learn more about the main character's special ability. The Drawings were gorgeous and I am eager to see them come to life in full color. Thanks to Netgalley for the E-ARC!

"Kindred Dragons" is a middle grade graphic novel by Sarah Mensinga. The main character, Alice will remind you a bit of Anne of Green Gables at first, being headstrong with fanciful ideas. She is absolutely sure that the fairies will gift her a dragon egg and that she will get a kindred dragon (a dragon that you raise, speak to telepathically, and are tied to life-wise: when one dies, the other dies). When she doesn't, she begins helping a grumpy dragon in the forest. I love the world-building and how emotionally touching the entire book was. I imagine it will be even more beautiful in full color. A must-buy for middle grade graphic novel collections everywhere.
