A review by callunavulgari
Ptolemy's Gate by Jonathan Stroud

5.0

I forgot how much this book completely wrecked me. Like, you're just meandering around living your life and then this book hits you so hard in the heart that you can't breathe for awhile afterwards. The first two books are quality, and the prequel was pretty good, but this book is the most superb shit. I don't care how old I get, this book aimed towards little kids has some of the best writing that I've ever read. And god, by the end every square inch of your heart will ache.

Just. All the stars.
