Rebel Kitty 18 hides, stealthily finishing her research on magic, demons, and Bartimaeus. She has a daring plan that she hopes will break the endless cycle of conflict between djinn and humans.

Worth slogging through book two just to get to this one. (And Im still not convinced my reaction to that book wasnt just me trying to read it at the wrong time.)This is the third and final book in the original Bartimaeus Trilogy (he wrote a prequel in 2010 but I think Im going to pass on that one). It takes place three years after the events of The Golems Eye. Nathaniel/John Mandrake is high up in government now, in charge of what is essentially the propaganda department, and is currently**Summary** Rating: 5.0An epic finale of an extremely fun, emotionally-charged, humor-packed tale that intertwined three great characters you cannot help but love.This book is by far one of the best finals of any trilogy I have ever read so far.Why did I pick this book?This time, it is not only Bartimaeus that made me read the final book in the series. I wanted to know more about the rest of the characters; I wanted to know what will happen between Nathaniel and Kitty, and ultimately I needed
I read this series a few years ago, and could never quite put into words how I felt about it. I adored The Amulet of Samarkand and The Golem's Eye, but by the time I got to Ptolemy's Gate...things changed. There I was, reading along all cheerily, thinking "what a great, funny series!" fully expecting a happily ever after. Then I read Ptolemy's Gate. I cried for an hour straight after the last page of this book. An hour straight. Then I took a break, and cried some more. This had never happened
Im hardly ever moved by books (Im a bit cynical), but Ptolemy's Gate made me tear up, which is an indication of how much I connected with the characters and Nathaniel in particular. I know Bartimaeus is the protagonist but I was rooting for Nathaniel from the start. Nathaniel is a good example of a tragic hero.The plot was quite predictable but it was beautifully executed. We got a lot of Bartimaeus backstory, especially his time with Ptolemy.The ending, though quite unfair, left the door open
actual rating: 4.5i will need a very, very long moment to get over this
3.5 Stars!
sooo verrrry borrreddd.
