So, as the title says (and not much more), I was wondering if there was any translation available for this book. Thanks!

There wasn't any few years back, not sure if there is any now, probably still isn't. What there is tho is a CD-Drama version available on youtube, fully narrated by Sakurai Takahiro as Merlin and fully subbed with a beautiful background OST.

Thanks! Luckily I haven't read the other one yet, so no harm done.

Since we're at it, would you mind telling me when this is supposed to be read? After the Saber route, or after all 3 routes?

Hmm to be honest if you've read fate route that should be enough, this is basically saber's backstory when she was alive from time she was born until she died. The lostbelt 6 of fate/grand order is heavily inspired by this so you should read this before reading lb6.

I just wonder about one thing, all 3 routes are supposed to be equally canon, so FSN events are referenced in other works, they always reference things neutrally, without hinting that one route is more canon than the others, but GoA Drama CD has bonus episode which is exactly the same as Fate route ending, but told from Bedievere POV, and Saber's strongly indicate that she's in love with Shirou, and this scene kinda breaks the statement that - ''all routes and heroines are equal".

It was already the case for the Last Episode scene in the Realta Nua version of the Visual Novel.
It's quite natural that if only 1 Route had to be chosen to be the Canon one , it would obviously be the Fate Route.

Last Episode is epilogue to Fate Route, not the whole game. But still it kinda breaks whole "all routes are canon thing". In a last Merlin chapter, he specially talks about events of FSN in such manner, that description fits both UBW and Fate routes, so no to break this rule, but this bonus chapter is explicitly says that one route is more canon than the others.

Well , you can unlock it only after reading all the endings , and it's also the very last scene of the whole Visual Novel...
So yes , it's the Epilogue of the Fate Route , but with how it was done , it can also be considered as the Epilogue of the Novel itself.

I know that "everything is Canon in the Nasuverse" , but for a few reasons , the Fate Route is my true Head-Canon.
