A couple days ago, I've finished reading The Amulet of Samarkand, a fantasy genre about magicians, traitors also demon. The main charater on this novel is a boy, age 11 years old, who is a student of Mr. Underwood. That time, in London city where commoners and magicians lived together. Also almost of magicians are join parlement, uniquely the minister of London : Ralph Deveraux is a magician too. The condition of London that day was a mess, between Magicians and Commoners there were a distance that separated them.
It was because Magicians tought that commoners aren't useful in this city. They just commoners! They don't have a skill in magic, they aren't powerful - tought Magicians. And for the commoners, magicians are stranger. A few of them made a team called Resistance to attack magicians. Also a lots of artefacts have been stolen by Reistance. The conflicts are sharpen because something missing! Ultimate and very dangerous artefact has been stolen and the government are looking for it, whois the suspect?
Nathaniel, a boy age 11 years old, don't like his master - Mr. Underwood - yet love Mrs. Underwood. He is a clever boy, yet trying to be slow and stupid boy in front of his master. It is because he wont his master found out what he is been done in his room. He called a demon! Which is 5000 years old! The demon is so popular, he is Bartimaeus, the traitor on his kinds. Barti also has been slavery by Solomon for decade, so you wont doubt his ability. But, when Barti has been called, he faces a kid - very young for the age - who is ask him to stole the Amulet from Lovelace.
Here is what I love the most from the novel :
- Bartimaeus's sarcastics joke.
- Nath is a representation of young age
- Being a master or a teacher is mean you have to be blessed
And anything you will find out from this novel that is very recommended from all readers arround the world.
