Book 3 will always be my favorite. It started just in time when I came back to feh after a break and I love it’s story and especially the dynamic eir and hel have. It definitely does get kind of bumpy at the end and the end does feel kind of rushed but the buildup to it is amazing.
Book 2 and 1 are around the same for me, book 1 is fairly basic but it was the first one we got and I think it works for the better for people to get used to FEH. No dream within a dream or goddess of death shenanigans. Just good old good guys vs bad guys, if anything it really reminds me of the fire emblem cliche of “main characters originally begin quest to do simple task but it eventually ends in killing the big evil dragon god.” In the best way possible. Book 2 is the same for me but I do think book 1 is a little higher for me just bc i haven’t thought about book 2 in a hot minute.
book 4 sure does exist. I love the character design and actual characters in it and the design is breathtaking....but everything else isn’t the strongest. I don’t think there’s a book that’s objectively “bad” but I definitely think its the weakest.
don’t really have anything to say about book 5 atm bc were so early on and it really turn could into anything at this point but I hope the story quality is a little bit better than 4 at least. No more confusing magic mind games please
