When I was browsing Amazon the other day, I discovered that Jonathan Stroud has a new book out entitled The Ring of Solomon. Even though I don’t usually buy hardcover books, I bought this one right away. Throughout the original trilogy there were a number of tantalizing hints about Bartimaeus’ backstory and I’m glad that Stroud has decided to flesh things out.
Here’s hoping that this prequel is better than the Star Wars prequels! 😀
