Summary
The first audiobook in a thrilling new trilogy about an apprentice magician and the powerful djinni he summons.

Nathaniel is a young magician with only one thing on his mind: revenge.

As an apprentice to the great magician Underwood, Nathaniel is gradually being schooled in the traditional art of magic. All is well until he has a life-changing encounter with Simon Lovelace, a rising, star magician. When Simon brutally humiliates Nathaniel in front of everyone he knows, Nathaniel decides to speed up his magical education, teaching himself spells way beyond his years. Eventually, he masters one of the most difficult spells of all: summoning the all-powerful djinni, Bartimeus.

But summoning Bartimeus and controlling him are two very different things--and Nathaniel may be in way over his head.

What a fun book! Loved all of the characters and the plot. To make it even better, narrator hit it out of the ball park!!! Thank you @shannonlewisiswriting for the recommendation / review. Can’t wait to listen to the 2nd book.

The first book of this series reshaped the way I enjoy reading (listening) to novels. The transition between 1st and 3rd person keep me totally interested and engaged with the story. I love the language and syntax throughout the entire series. Simon Jones also is an amazing narrator. His voicd totally matches the smug cool intellectual tones of Nathaniel and Bartimaeus.
