The Golem’s Eye is the second title in the New York Times bestselling Bartimaeus series by Jonathan Stroud.
**Note: There is a chance the book cover you receive may differ from the cover displayed here.**
Two years have passed since the events surrounding the Amulet of Samarkand, and the young magician Nathaniel is rising fast through the ranks of London’s elite magical government.
But his career is suddenly threatened by a dangerous golem making random attacks on London, and Nathaniel is forced on a perilous quest to save his reputation and the city. When he finds his life in danger he has no choice but to call upon the troublesome 5,000 year old djinni, Bartimaeus, to do his magical bidding once more . . .
Set in an alternate London controlled by magicians, this hilarious and electrifying series will enthral readers of all ages.
Fresh, witty and wise, this novel is a worthy sequel to The Amulet of Samarkand – Times Educational Supplement
Readers can rest easy: this sequel is no pale imitation of its predecessor. Fast paced, frightening and funny, and you don't want it to end – The Bookseller

The Golem's Eye, continues the story of Bartimaeus, the wise cracking Djinni and Nathaniel the overconfident yet disillusioned and some what foppish magician. There are power struggles here. Power struggles not only between Bartimaeus and Nathaniel but also between Nathaniel and the other magicians. As well as the power struggle between the magicians and the Resistance. Kitty, as part of the Resistance is struggling too. She is trying understand how the whole system works and how she fits in. All this amid attacks by a golem and a rampaging abd totally insane demon, 😈

A real page turner and must read. I am now moving onto Ptolemy Gate with sadness as this is the last in the trilogy.
