Wry like the first book, but a little darker, more serious of a story. The original protagonist has grown up and changed, and not entirely to the good. But Bartimaeus is the same: still enjoyable, wry, seasoned, powerful yet vulnerable. The state of the government, and how it came about, is explained more fully, and is interesting. I can't wait to read Book #3. ( )

very good. It does not read like a trilogy (and seeing that there are at least 4 books - its not)... and it is not a "part 2".. you could read this out of sequence and never know it was part of a series. Good story - and this guy really writes like he's drawing cartoons - or Movie scenes - pretty amazing! ( )

Excellent second part of the series, it maintains what I loved about the first part (the funny perspective of the djinn Bartimaeus and the contrast with the talented but naive and overly serious Nathaniel), while at the same time developing the setting a lot, and giving us a different outside perspective of the magician's world.

En cuanto vi que Nathaniel volvía a invocarme, supe que algo no iba bien. La primera vez que osó molestarme tuve que ayudarle a robar el amuleto de Samarkanda. ¿Qué querrá esta vez? Parece ser que el niño tiene algún que otro problema: en Londres medio barrio de Picadilly ha sido destruido y le han dado seis semanas para descubrir al culpable. ¡Qué pereza! Con lo bien que estaba yo tomando el sol. ¿Por qué me hará trabajar? ¿Por qué no invocará a un espíritu inferior? En fin, no puedo negarme, pero eso sí, hemos llegado a un pacto: seis semanas, solo estaré seis semanas a su servicio, yo después me piro…
