Aha thank you Kylie.
Finished The Amulet Of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud. Was very impressed, very good plot and characters, kept me not wanting to put it down!
9/10.
Edit - Will be starting the next in the series, The Golem's Eye, either a bit later tonight, or tomorrow, depending on how much time I have on my hands.
Sypnosis from back.In The Amulet Of Samarkand the young magician Nathaniel won wide acclaim for his daring exploits in saving the powerful jewel for the government; now he seems set to continue his meteoric rise through the ministerial ranks.
But the mysterious Resistance inflicts terrifying destruction on London, and soon Nathaniel's job and his very life are under threat, not only from the elusive Kitty and her companions, but from an unknown and bewildering source. Nathaniel is forced to embark on a perilous mission to the enemy city of Prague and to summon once again the troublesome, enigmatic and quick-witted djinni, Bartimaeus.
A roller-coaster ride of magic, adventure and political skulduggery in which the fates of Nathaniel, Bartimaeus and Kitty explosively collide.
Also will be seeing if I can get hold of the last of The Black Magician trilogy (High Lord) from a friend at school. He's taking his time reading it, but I'm persevering.
I don't usually but might start both at the same time.
