After defeating the kaiju and crossing the uncharted frontier, Edge and his crew arrived at World’s End, the most famous city in the galaxy. Their meeting with King is right around the corner, and that’s only their first problem among many.
War is brewing on the horizon as Ord’s factions vie for control of the planet, and it’s only a matter of time before portals to the monsters’ homeworld open once more. However, his biggest threat is the enemy within. Soon, the dark passenger will open its eyes, with his soul hanging in the balance.
Get ready for Edge’s biggest hunts yet, tons of awesome new skills, and upgrades beyond his wildest dreams. He will meet the Wardens, contend with the Coalition, and unearth the System’s hidden secrets, making some new friends along the way.

Blue balled
I'm so mad.
What is the entire premise of Book 4?
What's the most important thing Edge had to do at the end of Book 4?
What was the plan at the start of Book 5?
What is the one thing I wanted to happen in Book 5?
And what's the one thing that didn't happen?
EDGE MEETING THE COLLECTIVE
This book is extremely long for how little happens, the author loves to indulge in the details of the minutia.
And it's crazy to jump into a world-ending arc when we haven't even been properly situated in the "strong and terrible people want to manipulate and control me" arc. The pacing feels way off.

Meh
This book was a slog to get through. There was nothing driving our protagonist other than the vague need to get stronger so that he could meet people as equals or something? The previous books had a better balance of a driving force, on this one I had to skim through the excessive number of pages hunting acid slugs. The ending was interesting, but of course it ends on a cliffhanger because why on Earth would people have stories with resolutions. I read this book though, I will read the next one because the universe created within this book series has been interesting enough to warrant so. To the author though, each book must have a self-contained plot and goal even if the intent is to continue a larger storyline through multiple books. You did not accomplish that here.

Best! Book! Evarrr!
Huzzah! Best! Book! Evarrr! I love Edge Vasher and his team of companions, Melenia, Sasha, Jumo, Sakura, Trapper, and of course Rue his fox. But the best part is his Sapient Spells! This book starts as they reach the city, Worlds End. With the hopes of finding allies and bartering for goods that will improve their own Puppet Town! And each and everyone have their own plans to increase their abilities and level up! To gain leverage when negotiating with the powerful entities running the Factions. And in Worlds End they discover three Factions! By joining up with one of those Factions they start making headway! But first there's monsters to kill! More than they could've imagined...
So yeah AwesomeSauce grab the book and power-up!
Here's a quote:
“You look like a disco ball. Add a fog skill and some lasers, and you’ll be a portable party.”

I suggest waiting
Another book. Another disappointment.
I was really hoping that there would be some progress that would make it feel that Edge is powerful (besides the same stuff from the past 2 books), but that was wishful thinking.
The book stretches over about 3-4 weeks. There are several minor upgrades and MAYBE one "decent" upgrade to Edge. Still waiting on the BIG upgrade. And judging by how this series is has went thus far, I honestly would not be surprised if Edge is still in the same spot at the end of next book (I would be surprised if it happens before halfway).
For a series that started out so well, I am thinking the next book may be my last depending on how it goes

The last book led us to believe that we're gonna see the coalition and get that out if the way but would magnus do that no...
He created this filler book full of unnecessary battles except a few towards the end that were breadcrumbs for the next installment.
Did I enjoy the book some parts... And doing think I could've been wrapped up in 200+ pages absolutely. If he just get straight into it and not give us stuff we don't need to see like the ethical non-monogamy, the long winded team meetings, the interludes and the unnecessary side quests.
This story would've been way more interesting if it was a solo journey with recurring side character. Because at some point he's gonna out power them all!

This book ends up like the rest of this series a place holder. I am fairly sure this series ends here for me. Not much with any attention grabbing interest. Just read it to pass time.
