6Fifty Shades of Grey
The First Book In The Fifty Shades Trilogy
Perhaps because it ’s the first of E.L. James’Fifty Shadesbooks and it took her a while to find her foothold . Or perhaps it ’s because the capable subject of Anastasia and Christian ’s BDSM relationship was so poorly handled , butthe first and considerably - known book is at the bottom of the list . There ’s no real way of life to saccharide - coat it : Fifty Shades of Greyis a deeply problematic book that is n’t that well - write .
This makes sense . Fifty Shades of Greystarted asTwilightfanfic , so it has all the problems underlying inTwilight ’s toxic family relationship , with the added layer of a bodge BDSM relationship that is not actually healthy BDSM , but an opprobrious relationship . There are some real problems withFifty Shadesas a whole , butthe first book arguably does the most to romanticize Christian Grey ’s emotional abuse and overly - controlling ways . While there are some fun , frothier second , the awkward sex scenes do n’t make up for the rest of the first book ’s many shortcomings .
Based on the ledger by E.L. James , Fifty Shades of Grey is the first film in the trilogy that follow naive literature scholar Anastasia Steele ( Dakota Johnson ) , whose life changes upon meeting the complicated and torment billionaire Christian Grey ( Jamie Dorman ) . draw to each other , the two come out a romantic human relationship where Steele uncovers Grey ’s secrets - and explore her own personal desires .

5Grey
The First Book In The Fifty Shades Trilogy From Christian’s POV
Grey , the first book in the story ’s retelling from Christian ’s full point of eyeshot , suffers similarly from being the first rule book in Christian ’s trilogy , just asFifty Shades of Greydid . Interestingly , while the original record set forth asTwilightfanfic ( though they were changed quite a routine to keep from running afoul of copyright laws),Twilightauthor Stephenie Meyer after borrowed from E.L. James ' idea to retell the report from the manlike love interest ’s point of vista .
It ’s not a surprise . Greywas quite successful , and the idea is an interesting one , specially for the ( mostly ) female readership who might be starved for excited intimacy and to screw what their married person really think . Still , it has the same issues built intoFifty Shades of Greyas it ’s the same story , just from Christian ’s viewpoint . The committal to writing is adept , andChristian quite candidly serves as a more interesting protagonist than Ana , but it ranks lower than most of theFifty Shadesbooks . both in Christian ’s own trilogy and on this list .
4Fifty Shades Freed
The Final Book In The Fifty Shades Trilogy
InFifty Shades Freed , the third Christian Bible in theFifty Shadestrilogy , Ana and Christian are married and Ana finds out she ’s pregnant . One would cerebrate that having " won " Ana might mean that Christian relaxes his controlling trend . They would be wrong . While it does n’t condescend to the levels of the first al-Qur’an , there ’s quite a minute of lapse in the third book of account regarding the more problematic elements of their kinship .
That said , the writing is a step up from the first book . While it could never be argued that theFifty Shadesbooks are literary masterpieces , there ’s a pronounced difference from the first book to the third , and then later again in Christian Grey ’s trilogy . Still , despite being the third and final book , Freedisn’t the best of the original trilogy , which is why it ’s ranked in the middle of this tilt .
The final moving picture in the Fifty Shades trilogy , Fifty Shades Freed follows the newlywed lives of Anatasia Steele and Christian Grey . Still tantalize high from their hymeneals , Ana and Christian are brought back down to earth when a break - in at Christian ’s fellowship heralds the retort of an old nemesis , and remote forces threaten to pull the couple aside once more .

3Fifty Shades Darker
The Second Book In The Fifty Shades Trilogy
Fifty Shades Darkersees Ana and Christian getting engaged , and with that organic evolution in their relationship derive an evolution in the leger . It is doubtlessly the honest of theFifty Shadesbooks , with the writing being an improvement from the first book . In true statement , Fifty Shades FreedandFifty Shades Darkercould switch positions on this list and it would n’t exchange much . In terms of Goodreads rankings , they ’re both neck and neck at 3.83 .
Still , Fifty Shades Darkeris place higher on this list only because their relationship is – slightly – less toxic than in the first and third books . In the 2nd book , Ana has started to spring up out of her mousy , submissive girlfriend role and has set about to gain a spine ( and a personality in her word-painting ) . Christian , meanwhile , actually does attempt to curb his controlling and possessive disposition , and while that causes its own problems , it would n’t be a romanticism rule book without dramatic event . The balance of stronger written material and a less squicky dynamicputFifty Shades Darkerat the top of the original trilogy .
The sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey , Fifty Shades Darker go forward the write up of Anatasia Steele and Christian Grey . After leaving Christian in the former picture , Anatasia finds herself inexplicably sop up back to him despite her reservations about their family relationship . As the two grow close again , secrets from Christian ’s past times come back to haunt him , and Anatasia must adjudicate if her honey for Christian outweighs everything that comes with being in a relationship with him . The film asterisk Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan as Anatasia and Christian , with a further plaster bandage that let in Eric Johnson , Bella Heathcote , and Kim Basinger .
2Freed
The Last Book In The Fifty Shades Trilogy From Christian’s POV
Freedis the last book in Christian Grey ’s point of prospect trilogy and - for now , at least -the last book in theFifty Shadesuniverse as a whole . This final book dive into Christian ’s mind and readers finally get brainwave into how he feel about his marriage , his struggles with Ana being pregnant , and his occupation . It ’s much - needed context for a fictitious character who , though his taste were explained , still stay largely a secret in the first few book of account .
For those who love theFifty Shadesbooks , Freedis and was more than worth the wait . At almost 800 Sir Frederick Handley Page , Freedcould and should have been trim , as it sometimes gets bogged down in unneeded details . The filler offer minuscule to the narration and it ’s clear E.L. James did n’t want to say goodbye to Christian . Still , anyone endow in Christian ’s story will surcharge up all the little point about a disruptive , complex characterfrom his own sometimes murky internal thoughts .
1Darker
The Second Book In The Fifty Shades Trilogy From Christian’s POV
It plausibly should n’t be a surprise that the Christian Grey trilogy rank the same as the originalFifty Shades of Greytrilogy;they are , after all , the same story , just from a dissimilar perspective . Darkeris the second Holy Scripture of Christian ’s trilogy and it ranks number one on this lean . It ’s clear E.L. James had the most fun writing this ledger out of Christian ’s books , and , arguably , theFifty Shadestrilogy .
Darkertops theFifty Shades of Greyranking for a few reasons . For starters , Darkeris much snappier , more effective writing thanFreed;at 546 pages , it comes in 212 pages shorter thanFreed , gain the read feel like it zips along faster , even for a book that ’s quite retentive . As this is the section of the narration in which Christian really grapples with his abusive control event , it ’s also the most interesting of theFifty Shadesbooks , peculiarly come from his perspective . Darkerhas the most to bring with , and does it well , at least when compared to the other book . For those into the overall narration , Darkereasily comes out on top .
