  <default_description>Three years have passed since the magician Nathaniel helped prevent a cataclysmic attack on London. Now an established member of the British Government, he faces unprecedented problems: foreign wars are going badly; Britain's enemies are mounting attacks close to London; and rebellion is fomentingamong the commoners. Increasingly imperious and distracted, Nathaniel is treating Bartimaeus worse than ever. The longsuffering djinni is growing weak and vulnerable from too much time in this world and is nearing the end of his patience.    &lt;P&gt;Meanwhile, Nathaniel's longtime rival Kitty has been stealthily completing her research on magic, demons, and Bartimaeus's past. She has a daring plan that she hopes will break the endless cycle of conflict between djinn and humans. But will anyone listen to what she has to say?    &lt;P&gt;In this glorious conclusion to the Bartimaeus trilogy, the destinies of Bartimaeus, Nathaniel, and Kitty converge once more. Together the threesome faces treacherous magicians, a complex conspiracy, and a rebellious faction of demons. To survive, they must test the limits of this world and question the deepest parts of themselves. And most difficult of all-they will have to learn to trust one another.    &lt;P&gt;Jonathan Stroud is the author of the New York Times bestselling Bartimaeus Trilogy; The Last Siege; The Leap; and Buried Fire. He lives in England with his family.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a satisfying conclusion to a great series.  I think all three of the books start off a bit slowly and it takes a couple of chapters to get things rolling.  However, once the story begins to unfold it's packed with adventure.  There were several surprises in this book as once again there are...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70619750">more...</a>]]></body>

They are cruel and power hungry struggling with a revolution in the American colonies and the protests and uprisings of commoners back home.

    <body><![CDATA[So, I think my advice would be don't even start the series.  The reader is great and the long books helped entertain on long runs, but the overall experience was not worth the frustration.  The final book was somewhat redeeming, but to wait three very LONG books for Nathaniel to become a decent char...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65483486">more...</a>]]></body>

There is a lot of development in each of the characters and an ending that was very satisfying (for me, perhaps not for others as it's not the happiest of possible endings).<br/><br/>Nathaniel finds himself having to battle deep machinations...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50353938">more...</a>]]></body>
