At long last, we’ve come to the end of our journey through The Bartimaeus Sequence. With our reading of Ptolemy’s Gate by Jonathan Stroud the cycle of empire is complete! …Well, sort of. This book takes many turns, and those turns took us by storm! Jino absorbed the entire text in, like, a day, and Victoria remained deeply affected well after turning the final page. Michael had fun too. He really loved this one joke about certain death and soup. So join us one last time as we travel from the Other Place (our studio) to the summoning circle (your headphones) and discuss how the stories of Nathaniel, Kitty, and Bartimaeus conclude.
