An excellent wrap up to this trilogy. Bartimaeus is just as funny and witty in this book as in the first two, however we DO get a better look at his past in Ptolemy's Gate. This look at his distant past gives us insight into why he is who he is. It helps with the fantastic character development that happens in the last bit of the book. And speaking of character development, Nathaniel and Kitty both go through serious transformations in this book. Timely, hard-won transformations.

As with the other two, I highly recommend this book. You can't go wrong with a Bartimaeus novel.
