karenholmes 's review for:
The Golem's Eye
by Jonathan Stroud
I didn't think Stroud could improve the Bartemius story in the first book, but I was wrong. This is even better than the first.
Yes, you got more of the cocky teenager, now two years older who wants to be a wizard and fights hard to get what he dreams of. Yes, you even have more of the tongue-in-cheek demon, well, genius, who helps the kid gritting his teeth. But refreshingly, you get to see Kitty's point of view. How the resistance formed, how she became part of them and what is it that they want.
Villain is a bit more shadowy in this one, less evident than the first book, which is good. It's not overly complex but it's a nice story, refreshing read.
