I thought that the beginning of this DLC was sort of a mini side adventure but some of the battles are unbearably long at points, the only characters I actually liked were Yuri and Hapi, as Balthus gets like no expansion and Constance's sun gimmick just seemed like the same shit Bernadetta has in the main game.

The boss fight was actually great though and learning about Byleth's mother was really interesting and fills in a few gaps.

I really wish that this could have been a fully fleshed out route besides 7 chapters because it seems like at certain points they tried to stretch out the battles and it was a damn DRAG.
