Hard to say, especially if you were kinda meh about Awakening. The series could a hard evolutionary turn from then on out, so any resembling FE7 or FE8 is long-since dead and not coming back.

They both have a similar "hub" mechanic that functions like X-Com (that series itself which functions a lot like FE) in between battles/missions, with Three Houses being the school/monastery, and Engage being it's own castle town thing. General agreement is TH has the much better story (with 3 different stories (well, technically 4) in one game that branch out, giving it good replayability), and good combat/mechanics, while Engage has a very generic story with few surprises, but the Engage battle mechanic puts a wildly different spin on the combat (and ditches the min-army mechanic thing from TH that no one liked).

I.e., both are really well liked for their own reasons, but TH is generally considered the stronger entry. Be warned, the hub mechanics are a pretty big element of the game, and they do tend to drag on (although you can ignore and skip past the stuff that shouldn't ignore).
