What to expect
The tremendous climax of the Bartimaeus sequence.
Three years on from the events in The Golem's Eye, the magicians' rule in London is teetering on a knife-edge, with strikes, riots and general unrest. The Prime Minister is largely controlled by two advisers, one of whom is 17-year-old Nathaniel. Meanwhile, living under a false identity, Kitty has been researching djinn; she has come to believe that the only way to destroy the magicians is with an alliance between djinn and ordinary people.
Kitty seeks out Bartimaeus and embarks on a terrifying journey into the djinn's chaotic domain – the Other Place – which no human being has ever survived. But even as she does so, Makepeace engineers a dramatic coup d'etat.
The outcome is a shattering of the magicians' control and all magical laws are turned upside down. Can Bartimaeus, Nathaniel and Kitty settle old scores to prevent the earth's destruction?
Critics Review
-
Bartimaeus’ razor-sharp wit is as irresistible as ever and this is a fantastic conclusion to the series
The Bookseller -
There are many delights to savour in this series. First and foremost, the wonderful, sardonic voice of the all-knowing and all-weary Bartimaeus
Independent -
As witty and orginal as the first two books in the series, Ptolemy’s Gate is fast, funny, inspired writing for children at its best
Publishing News -
Stroud demonstrates here that what and how he writes should never be taken for granted
TES -
The return of one of my favourite ever characters . . . Completes the brilliant Bartimaeus trilogy
