The Amulet of Samarkand




























Bartimaeus is a snarky 5,000 year old djinni who has come into servitude of a young magician's apprentice named Nathaniel. The plot revolves around their attempts to stop an evil mastermind magician from taking over the world. You know, that's all that I really want to summarize. I got bored already.

It slightly bothered me that this is set in England, but I didn't see any english spellings of words.

Quote:

"One magician demanded I show him an image of the love of his life. I rustled up a mirror."

I liked this book, but I wouldn't say I loved it. It was reminiscent of the Children of the Lamp series, but not as engaging.
