The trilogy concludes

Now, for the third time, I have finished the Bartemaeus Trilogy.

I really do love this series for many reasons, but I would first like to make a sort of disclaimer; the rest of this blog post will have A LOT of spoilers, so as they say, reader beware

Now back to business at hand, I would like to say that when I first read this series, I noticed all the little details between the relationship between Kitty and Bartemaeus, and the death of the major djinn Farqual, Bartemaeus's long standing Arch-rival. I wold love to say I noticed all of the subtleties, however to say that would be lying.

However when reading the books over again, you could really examine the relationship between Nathanial And Bartemaeus. Nathanial seems to adore him through a curtain. He never releases the djinn, and I don't believe that Nathanial thought that Bartenaeus would reveal his true name. The two were always arguing, but I feel, again in some wierd complex way, that Bartemaeus was really Nathanials master. The noble, (not to mention sharp tongued) Djinn was always there for the boy even when Rathanial believed himself to truly be one of the gov't. Sadly though Bartemaeus's wise tutelage ended in nathanial makeing the same sacrifice Ptolemy made back in Alexandria, all those years ago.
