The character of Missie is a great example of the divergence. Her journey west in the books is a multi-novel arc with specific challenges. In the films, her journey is condensed into one movie, and her later life is altered to keep her connected to the main setting. So the 'order' of her life events is reshuffled to fit the film's more centralized storytelling around the original homestead.

Hmm, I've only seen the first couple films. Are the later ones worth watching if I loved the books? I'm wary of adaptations going off the rails, but the comments here make them sound like their own thing.

It’s a classic case of adaptation drift. The first film is a fairly faithful take on the first novel. By the second film, they're already starting to condense and simplify subplots from 'Love's Enduring Promise'. By the time you reach the middle films, characters from later books are introduced early, and storylines from multiple books are woven into a single movie. So if you're looking for a direct correlation, it only exists loosely. The film series is more of a remix using the books as source material.

I'm just here for the cozy vibes, and reading them out of order kinda ruins that. The comfort comes from the predictability of the family's growth. You want to experience the children being born in book two, then see them as teens in book three, then as adults later on. If you jump to a book where they're already adults, that cozy, familiar feeling is lost. You feel like you missed the family reunion gossip. So, for maximum cozy, read 1-8. It's like visiting the same prairie house every few years and seeing how everyone has changed. Any other order breaks the spell.
