The Golem's Eye:

It answered a lot of unanswered questions from the first book. It explained who Kitty and the Resistance was. It has a lot of fantasy, mystery, and action. It’s a hard book to put down, and it always wants you wanting more. Some parts are very confusing if you don’t read the first of the trilogy, The Amulet of Samarkand. I really liked how Stroud added another point of view, Kitty. With her telling some of the story it answered a lot of my questions about the resistance and what they do. Kitty’s points of view were a lot better then I thought. I still have questions about this book and I hope that they’ll be answered in the next of the trilogy. It was a lot better then the first. It has a great story line which tempts you too keep reading. It has a great story line which tempts you too keep reading. I highly recommend this to anybody that likes fiction.

Increasingly imperious and distracted, Nathaniel is treating Bartimaeus worse than ever. The longsuffering djinni is growing weak and vulnerable from too much time in this world and is nearing the end of his patience.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel’s longtime rival Kitty has been stealthily completing her research on magic, demons, and Bartimaeus’s past. She has a daring plan that she hopes will break the endless cycle of conflict between djinn and humans. But will anyone listen to what she has to say?

In this glorious conclusion to the Bartimaeus trilogy, the destinies of Bartimaeus, Nathaniel, and Kitty converge once more. Together the threesome faces treacherous magicians, a complex conspiracy, and a rebellious faction of demons. To survive, they must test the limits of this world and question the deepest parts of themselves. And most difficult of all–they will have to learn to trust one another.
