David McK (3649 KP) rated Ptolemy's Gate (Bartimaeus, #3) in Books
Oct 19, 2025
Which, as the ages-old Djinni Bartimaeus points out, is something he has seen time and time again throughout the ages: those able to perform magic rise to the top until magical resistance starts growing amongst the downtrodden commoners, who then over-through their rulers.
The trilogy, as a whole, I felt is enjoyable enough but does need to be read in order, with this perhaps the best.
