This one is a mid series builder. Not to say that there was not plenty of action in this one, but it felt like it was laying the ground work as it opened up several directions the story could go and then did not do anything with them. Overall, still a strong read. Be aware there are plenty of translation errors, but it did not distract me from the storyline. Warning: explicit language. This book does set the stage and only one coincidence, which I understand why, bothered me as it felt contrived. I hope that the author addresses it and does not leave it as stands. Nothing stands out as super strong in this one, but if the author can take this foundation and build it could be pretty great. Excited for book 6.
