Combines the best qualities of the earlier books, and even improves upon them. Nathaniel has grown up, Bartimaeus still can't hold his tounge, and the story is grittier, darker, and at times, touching. A masterpiece of an ending. Jonathan Stroud is awesome!

I'm so glad that I've read this trilogy. Even if the ending surprised me.

Hoped that the book didn't end how it did.
