Sounds like it might be fun. Although I haven't read fantasy in quite a few years I used to enjoy it so I just might get hooked on the series.

I'll read it as soon as I finish the 3rd Bartimaeus installment. BTW, from the first paragraph of the prelude, it looks promising.

I haven't used it for many years. And the Kindle app runs on Linux using Wine.

Downloaded it just fine. Looks promising.
