Jonathan Stroud, Ptolemy's Gate
Hyperion (2006) ISBN: 0-7868-1861-1
Score: 4
Conclusion to the Bartimaeus trilogy. Conspiracies are exposed, secrets revealed, conflicts resolved, worldbuilding explained, and some characters survive. The ending had a nice balance between realism and romanticism, and the surprise plot twists were carefully hinted at in the previous books.
Next Book: finish re-reading Erikson's Deadhouse Gates, not sure what I'll read after that. Do my Loyal Readers have any suggestions?
