David McK (3816 KP) rated The Ring of Solomon (Bartimaeus, #0.5) in Books
Jan 13, 2026
It's still the same 'world', in that magicians hold the power, with their power itself flowing from the captured spirits and djinni who must carry out their wishes - the wise-cracking Bartimaeus being one such.
This was an enjoyable read, mainly for the different setting after the London of the originals, that did not overstay its welcome. Parts of it, however, were quite obvious from a long (long) way away.
