Illusion gives us many illusions and changes to deal with notably that Acheron is only 5 feet tall! 
 If you've ever wondered what and alternate reality would be like... read this book. 
 So the deal is this: Nick's life is about keeping alive and not going evil. He's tall and handsome, though he doesn't see it, and apparently has the potential to destroy the world. 
 And then he got sucked into a different reality where he's short, average and doesn't have a single power to his name to protect himself from the evil forces out to enslave and use him. 
 Just another day in Nick Gautier's life. 
 I was really concerned about this book. When I read the end of Inferno and realized exactly what Kenyon had planned; I wanted to groan. Alternate reality? Seriously? Just get to the story. 
 But this wasn't just a way to kill time. It proved a point to everyone around Nick about his powers, his relationship to them and taught Nick a thing or two about wielding the powers he now has. Oh and it gave a small reconciliation between father and son though I'm not sure I need that. 
 And snarky Nick is all about taking things in stride, fighting evil and saving his mama at all costs. 
 Kenyon did a great job with this book, while bringing in a new character for Nick's story and making it possible for Nick to grow as a "being" and further the story. Kenyon is a rock star! 
 This is a great series and well worth the read.
