Yeah so I'm skipping around in reading these days as I am interested in reading a lot of different books and I don't have a lot of time to do so.
So this new book titled the Amulet of Samarkand is the first of a magical trilogy of books called the Bartimaeus Trilogy. The first book focuses mainly on Bartimaeus along with his view of the world as he is constantly summoned to the human realm in order to complete the tasks that ordinary wizards and witches couldn't do along with a new wizard named Nathaniel who summons Bartimaeus. And yes this is another magic series but it doesn't sound Harry Potter-ish at all. In fact other than the fact that both series involve magic of some sort, they are nothing alike.
Bartimaeus is known as one of the most ancient and powerful demons from his plane. His best ability is to shapeshift to whatever form he wants to. Alhtough he, like all demons, weakens when he remains in the human realm for too long.
Nathaniel is the magician that summons him. Nathaniel is 11 years old and knows some rather complex and powerful spells for a wizard his age. In the beginning of the book, Nathaniel harbors an intense dislike for his foster father, Lovelace. Bartimaeus is summoned to help Nathaniel get revenge from being abused and mistreated from his father. He uses Bartimaeus to steal from Lovelace in order to make him think that he is being targeted by some sort of organization. However, Lovelace has no idea that the one causing him all his grief is his son.
