Birthright is most akin to Awakening, so if you enjoyed Awakening you'll like Birthright.
Story-wise they're probably on the same tier. Gameplay wise, I think Birthright is MUCH better and a vast improvement.
Akin to the return of no permadeath, there is also a "Phoenix Mode" that allows fallen units to be revived that next turn. Not as necessary imo cause Birthright is pretty easy, but definitely useful for Conquest if you ever decide to purchase that one.
Skills/classes are (imo) a bit easier this time around. It's different and a bit confusing at first, but on Normal/Easy + Casual you don't have to worry about that imo. I screwed up a few places with that, and still did just fine (altho I had to bump down from Hard to Normal/Easy on the last few chapters for my first run).
You can certainly look at a few youtube videos if you really want to have as much knowledge beforehand about it, but generally, Fates was really well received and Birthright, while perhaps maybe a TINGE more difficult than Awakening, is still pretty easy imo.
