WHAT AN EPIC FINALE TO AN AMAZING TRILOGY! 
 I can't believe I let this series sit, untouched, on my bookshelf for the past decade. What is wrong with me??! (I'm a book hoarder with no time to read. That's what's wrong) 
 I don't even know where to begin. I loved how Nathaniel and Kitty have grown and changed throughout the series while Bartimaeus remained an entertaining, witty, sarcastic and lovable constant. I loved exploring Bartimaeus' past and his relationship with Ptolemy. I loved the action, magic, corruption and social polarization. I just love, love, love this series! Even more than [gasp] Harry Potter! 
 I'm so sad the series is over, but thoroughly satisfied with the way it ended.
