teashell 's review for:

The Golem's Eye by Jonathan Stroud
3.0

This volume introduces another character, Kitty Jones. She's more likable, though her naiveté and political ignorance often made me cringe. Nathaniel continues to be a jerk. Waah waah troubled childhood waah he's only a jerk because he was taught to be one, ok; it happens. I don't even blame him for it, the poor guy. His whole society is bigoted and power-mad, and he's a product of it. It does make it hard to spend time with him, so thank goodness for Bartimaeus! The djinn remains hilarious, astute, adventurous, gruff-yet-perceptive, and a real treat to spend time following around the adventures of the plot.
