I liked this book and wish author could have flushed out the middle more. I did not like how selfish the characters are but they do stay true to ideals so I can accept it.
One spoiler I will mention is that you should not start this book series if you looking for normal progession of a character through multiple books. The mcs avatar is changed and reset throughout the book and the Mc’s selfishness and half loner mentality does not change throughout the series.
That said I listened to all the books and enjoyed them all and would buy book six if it existed. And the selfishness that I mentioned might be viewed as pragmatism. the author is from a different country where getting by in life is much harder then where I was brought up
