Jonathan Stroud has created another winner in The Ring of Solomon, his latest Bartimaeus story. Wonderfully written and brilliantly plotted … Brilliant * Bookseller *The voice is as funny as ever, but there are also passages of eerie beauty … Stroud has lost none of his dazzle – Suzi Feay * Financial Times *Wonderfully written and brilliantly plotted, this book provides an entertaining cast of characters and a satisfying denoument, with ends finally tied after many twists and turns. Bartimaeus himself is a brilliant creation, offering lots of comedy opportunities to the writer – Marilyn Brocklehurst * The Bookseller *May be the best one yet … Needless to say Bartimaeus is a tad resentful of the magicians and expresses his disgruntlement with wit, much sarcasm, and occasional magician-devouring – Susan Goundrey Kruse * Stories from the Web *
