I rank both ShB and HW above EW, which is around SB.

Thematically, EW was a huge miss for me. The messaging was full of platitudes. I think Fandaniel is the worst antagonist we've ever had, he was annoying and his motivations weren't compelling. The Final Days was a lot of nothing, so was Zodiark. As much as I loved Elpis, I loathed the time loop which ruined it. I recoiled at the celebration of Venat, which is a whole other rant in itself. I also thought the post-Endsinger scene was dumb, we could've just held hands with her in Elpis and avoided everything. :P Garlemald, one of the better aspects of the expansion, was way too short.

There wasn't much I disliked about ShB. Mostly the trolley and the talos.
