Yes, it's a lot of fun. Yes, the world (worlds) and characters are many, varied and imaginative.

Unfortunately -- it is "to be continued".

There is a solid ending -- but no conclusion.

This book is setting the scene. The major "villains" are undefeated -- and coming back. Best we can say -- for a "conclusion" -- is that we are given an insight into their "motivation".

It's non-stop action adventure and violence. Very enjoyable. But it's still just book one of a series.

I enjoyed reading it. I look forward to reading the next. But I would enjoy it more if I believed that it would ever end.
