Bartimaeus Trilogy

Gixus · 01-07-2008, 05:52 PM

For those of you looking for a new series to start, I highly recommend the Bartimaeus Trilogy.

They are about a young warlock Nathaniel who summons an ancient demon Bartimaeus who, though he is not the powerful demon, uses his wit and strength to help Nathaniel. They are pretty funny books with a good plotline to them. They also offer a pretty unique view on warlocks and summoning with some in depth looks on how the magic works.

Has anyone else read these books and if so what did you think of them.

Yep, read all 3 thought they were pretty good, preffered this trilogy to the harry potter books (though t be fair i only read the first 3 when i was younger).

I especially liked the fact that the books were more occult, the demon summonings were explained in pretty good detail with references to history n such, and also for the humour was very good

Defintely a good read imo
