In the final book of the Bartimaeus Trilogy, Nathaniel finally starts to question his blind ambition of becoming the most important magician of his time. That questioning, however, does not make him start treating Bartimaeus any better. Out of fear for what Bartimaeus knows, Nathaniel has not allowed the djinni to go back to the other place to restore his strength for fear that another magician will summon him and find out Nathaniel's secrets. This leave Bartimaeus weak and, naturally, quite grumpy. All the while, Kitty Jones is studying magic herself to get to the bottom of Bartimaeus's past.
I really enjoyed this trilogy and definitely plan to read the prequel "The Ring of Solomon." The character Bartimaeus is just fantastic. Give to teen fans of Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Skulduggery Pleasant, and/or Septimus Heap.
