Definitely not a big fan of the art style in the more recent books. Stylistically it just feels lesser, less interesting. It's a style, just not one I care for. I can get over that easily since the meat for me is always what's written where as the art just helped me visualize if the descriptions were lacking in a book.

Curious, because I really didn’t like the art style in the early 5e books. In fact I hated it almost as much as I hated the 3rd edition art with it’s outsize final fantasy swords and bunny-eared elves.

I felt the art has improved enormously since about the time Ghosts of Saltmarsh came out. That was the first 5e cover that didn’t suck.

Heh, I feel that both early and current 5e art is kinda hit and miss. There's been stuff I like and stuff I don't.
