I really do enjoy this series and especially Nick Gautier's character. He makes me laugh so much. Well in this installment we see that there are some traitors in Nick's life. There are forces greater than what they know after him. There are also some big changes in his life line that affect his future self and may change the course of his future. Have to wait ages now for Illusion, the next book in the series. 
 (view spoiler)[ I must say that the ending has left me a little confused where he seems to have woken in an alternate universe. How that happened, we dont know... (hide spoiler)]
