Reviews
"Ptolemy's Gate… is the triumphant conclusion to a fantastic trilogy."
Daily Mail
"This closing installment is the best yet… Stroud is a masterful storyteller…. The final scene manages to take the reader completely by surprise and yet seem, in retrospect, inevitable: a stunning end to a justly acclaimed trilogy."
Horn Book Magazine (starred review)
"The trilogy wraps up with excitement, adventure and an unexpected wallop of heart and soul. . . Stroud masterfully weaves together four characters and an unearthly realm of existence in an explosive culmination…”
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"For readers who loved the earlier volumes for the sheer adventure, this, with its battles, magic and great crashing conclusion, will not disappoint. A worthy ending to an exceptional saga."
Booklist (starred review)
"Stroud demonstrates here that what and how he writes should never be taken for granted, least of all when he is bringing to a close a trilogy that is his finest achievement yet."
Nicholas Tucker, TES |
