Bartimaeus prequel, which moves the setting from modern-day(ish) London to ancient Israel, largely set in the courts of King Solomon and dealing with his relationship with the Queen of Sheba.

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.
