A review by catethegreat03
Ptolemy's Gate by Jonathan Stroud
5.0
I thought this conclusion was well done and I'm genuinely sad that the only other book in this universe is the prequel.
I got everything I wanted, Nathanial realized his wrongs and grew, Kitty made a change, and Bartimaeus was free (at least for a while). It just wasn't how I expected. I also think this story can be used to introduce children (or people in general) to how absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I would love to suggest this trilogy to others and I plan on reading the prequel and Stroud's other work in the hope that they will scratch the itch that this book left me with. (I would also love suggestions of books like this or with a similar magic system)
