The Ring of Solomon by Jonathan Stroud
5.0
This book seals my love for the Bartimaeus series even more and I am certain that the series is one of my favourites.
What is not to love about the book? There's Bartimaeus who I've adored from the very beginning (one of my favourite characters). I was happy that he has always been a proud witty loud-mouthed djinni. I like the flaws in Asmira and how easy it is to connect with her. It was nice to have Farqual around and of course, King Solomon who I've always thought to be a lovable fellow since Bartimaeus likes to take his guise.
But the thing that I love the most is Bartimaeus's characteristic. Even though he hates being summoned he find ways to make the job enjoyable. Even though he's supposed to portray a typical evil djinni, he still has heart and knows how to evaluate a situation the best that he could and the advises that he give are always great.
I was actually a little bit nervous when I started reading the book only because the trilogy was really good and I was worried that this didn't live up to my expectations, but it didn't dissapoint me at all. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the book and Jonathan Stroud, I applaud you for writing this series, one that I will always come back to for years to come.
