Summary
Three years on from the events in The Golem's Eye, the magicians' rule in London is teetering on a knife-edge, with strikes, riots, and general unrest. The Prime Minister is largely controlled by two advisors, one of whom is 17-year-old Nathaniel. Meanwhile, living under a false identity, Kitty has been researching djinn; she has come to believe that the only way to destroy the magicians is for an alliance of some kind between djinn and ordinary people.
Kitty seeks out Bartimaeus and embarks on a terrifying journey into the djinn's chaotic domain, The Other Place, which no human being has ever survived. But even as she does so, Makepeace engineers a dramatic coup d'etat. The outcome is a shattering of the magicians' control as all magical laws are turned upside down. Can Bartimaeus, Nathaniel, and Kitty settle old scores if they survive - and prevent the earth's destruction?

I cried lol. so good. well worth a listen. brilliant narrator.

Fantastic voice actor
Everytime I hear the story the range of voices always amazes me - the dept of tones and range of emotions expressed through this voice actor is fantastic and the story is a personal favourite so makes it even better!

Bloody good
It was really thrilling and amazingly action packed. I loved it but you must really read the previous two books to understand everything. They are both great as well.

Didn't need to be abridged
Fantastic story, first class narration, utterly brilliant.
Quite why the producer didn't have faith in it and gutted half the content is beyond me. About half of Bartimaeus' jokes are gone.
Steven Pacey is second to none as Bartimaeus and I thoroughly enjoyed this, but sadly because so much is missing, the books are better.

I will always love these books
I first read these books when I was around 13. Shortly after I was given the CD’s (audiobook) they were very well used throughout my teenage years . I’ve now graduated to Audible versions and I must say this series still has a strong hold over me 13 years later. Thank you Jonathan Stroud !

What a brilliant book!
I have absolutely loved listening to this trilogy and the last book has been fabulous. Exciting, clever and most of all really poignant. Steven Pacey reads it beautifully as always and it is overall a wonderful listen. Wish there were more!
