I am quite disappointed in the outcome.

And the whole arc really, I mean... it's just lame to me, I guess. Unlike Book 3 which worked ok but I felt would probably be better in a full Fire Emblem game, this one I don't think would work much at all...

All of the dream-ceptions got both confusing and tiring. There was info I would have liked to know more. Like how Alfonse and Bruno met? Way more interested in that than whatever happens to these damn butterfly people. Hey remember that curse? Yeah I don't blame you.

I don't like how in this book and the last, the main antagonists get killed. I mean in a regular Fire Emblem game yeah it makes sense they gotta die, but in this game? They are killing concepts, gods basically. Like Hel was basically the Grim Reaper, she is death, and they just kill her. Chapter 11 implies there might be actual consequences to this, cause yeah why wouldn't there be consequences to killing Death. But no it's a lie, apparently. And they kill the nightmare butterflies, one of whom is Peony's sister, I remember someone saying that wouldn't happen because of that and yet here we are. Also the king of dreams is apparently dead. So like, are dreams cancelled too? Who even knows.

I was extra disappointed after finding this out because not only could that have been something to lead up to the next book but it hinted at more lore. Not that I wanted Alfonse to be dead, just wanted a risk, I guess?

Honestly I think the only things that didn't disappoint me was that we got some good refreshers and eventually 2 new beast units out of it, and Kiran is something of a unit now. Other than that I am so dejected about this book. Also I don't like the implication that lewd dreams are inherently nightmares.

What I hope for the next book: cool it on the new characters and focus on the ones we already have, like why are these gods messing with our heroes, doing all these events, like what is Thorr about, also please continue Book 1 for pete's sake, add a free summon counter to event banners please and thanks.
