The Ring of Solomon by Jonathan Stroud
3.0
An odd little prequel to the Bartimaeus series, good, if you liked the others.
You can read before the original trilogy, but I had fun picking it up in Published order, that is after the original trilogy.
Did a good job establishing more of the history of the place, and from a different perspective than was told in the original trilogy. His real relationship with Solomon...only a slave to an advisor...and how much trouble he can get into, while inadvertently doing good and uncovering quite the conspiracy. Sound familiar? :)
It makes me hope for more of our favorite Jinni novels, his impertinent adventures make for a good read.
