Books by Jonathan Stroud
The Amulet of Samarkand
by Jonathan Stroud
· published 2003 · read 2007-01-01
★★★★☆
Even though I was aware that Stroud was using repetetive cheap tricks to get me to enjoy the story, I still enjoyed the story, and that's that.
Ptolemy’s Gate
by Jonathan Stroud
· published 2005 · read 2008-10-01
★★★☆☆
Stronger than the second part, if only by a bit. A very decent conclusion, without resorting to the cheapest of cheap endings (boy saves world, gets girl).
The Ring of Solomon
by Jonathan Stroud
· published 2010 · read 2011-01-01
★★★☆☆
Prequel. I read it too late after the original series, I think, but it brought back plenty of memories of the trilogy, both good and bad ones.
The Golem’s Eye
by Jonathan Stroud
· published 2004 · read 2007-05-01
★★★☆☆
Repeating the formula that works, this book is a bit more tiresome but still alright.
