About this listen
Three years on from the events in The Golem's Eye, the magicians' rule in London is teetering on a knife-edge, with strikes, riots, and general unrest. The Prime Minister is largely controlled by two advisors, one of whom is 17-year-old Nathaniel. Meanwhile, living under a false identity, Kitty has been researching djinn; she has come to believe that the only way to destroy the magicians is for an alliance of some kind between djinn and ordinary people.
Kitty seeks out Bartimaeus and embarks on a terrifying journey into the djinn's chaotic domain, The Other Place, which no human being has ever survived. But even as she does so, Makepeace engineers a dramatic coup d'etat. The outcome is a shattering of the magicians' control as all magical laws are turned upside down. Can Bartimaeus, Nathaniel, and Kitty settle old scores if they survive - and prevent the earth's destruction?

The narrator Steven Pacey is a brilliant reader, he brings the books to life.
This book rounds off the bartimaeus trilogy & is as enjoyable as the first 2, with a little sadness at times offset by the brilliant way it is written.
A very enjoyable read of strength, courage, determination, hope with a large dollop of humour, thank you Jonathan!
Laugh out loud funny in bits, love bartimaeus
