I liked the first book enough to continue this series.

Reading and drinking a big ol‘ cup of cocoa- this feels so christmassy!
Need to read to my son. Lost a bet. 😵
Does this count as #raisingreaders?
BTW, the English edition of this book has a nicer cover.
PS: yes, the sticker covers up the mess
#ReadingResolutions Day 7: Magicians here are depicted to be a disreputable, #devious, untrustworthy lot. No wonder, the protagonist, Nathaniel is slowly becoming John Mandrake. No room for joy or bliss in this young boy‘s life. Not even a hint of romance. The only person who would do anything to save his hide is in the person of the young girl (Kitty) whom he has viciously hunted since Book 1. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-2v
Reading how Nathaniel turned out into those stuck up wizards was really amusing. I can't wait to see another moral conflict that would ensue him.
I just realized I've been reading this for the past two hours. Seriously, it's so fast paced and funny.
The Second book of the Bartimaeus trilogy seems just what the doctor ordered. I have to recommend these audiobooks to anyone else still in a funk after Tuesday. Also glad these books are holding up to a relisten after 15 years. 😂
It started slower than the first one for me, but when it really got going, it was such a fun romp!! The new characters were very compelling, and there's just enough left unresolved to make Book 3 promising 👍🏻
I'm a big fan of audiobooks for long drives, durning housework & while building my dollhouse. I'm really into this one, the 2nd in the BARTIMAEUS trilogy. I fell in love with Jonathan Stroud's LOCKWOOD & CO. & am now enjoying his earlier work.
