 None of the above. It was good, but it doesn't mean I think "Yay, Nat's finally dead!"

 It was a great ending, I like how they killed off one of the main characters. I would have liked Nat to live, but the ending just wouldn't have been as good.

 It would have been better had Kitty died.

And Nat lived.

 hi, i am feeling really very odd writing coz this is the first time and weird as it may seem, am absolutely new to all this. have just finished the trilogy and though when i started, it didnt fascinate me all that much and then zap, it jumped at me and clung like hot wax. i was upset that nat died and that was what prompted me to seek this site out and make the effort to write. i dont know whether or not mr. stroud would even read my mail , let alone write back, but since i wanted to wite, so i have.

Waste of a pentacle.
 I found that tears sprung to my eyes at the every end of Ptolemy's Gate. i had gotten to know Nat so well and then he died.

You can't have that avatar... That's my avatar!

I know, I know.. and I am very sorry... I changed it instantly when I notoced it.. hope that's better now...
I'll change it anyways when I am back at my college pc.. upload my custom one :D



Yeah.. I was really sad too, when Nat died... but it seems correct.. Just imagine him stepping out of the flames (unharmed).. as the total hero... that would have been too kitchy

Now we have a very sad ending.. but a good one.. It fits perfectly into Nat's behaviour. At first he was a power-hungry youngster, only looking for his own profit... he would never given up his life to save his country... but he changed.. he saw Kitty and her beliefs and became less selfish. The ending he met, show that he really meant this change and that he was consequent in his whole becoming-a-better-person-attitude.

 I'm not exactly sure what I think of the ending. Personally, i think it was great that he killed off one of the main characters, but i still would've really liked Nat to live...even if he is a prat... :D
Maybe he left the end off just so that readers could sort of make their own predictions on what happened after Nouda and the staff, but that's just my opinion.

 It was a brilliant ending, if I do say so myself. No tears, because I'm me, but I swear I sat there in stunned shock for five straight minutes, staring at the page.

 I've never felt so cold in my life, but it was in a weird way. My tears were cold and slow...and I too was shocked.

Hey, I am a first timer too. I was really shocked Nat died. Esp after he turned good. It took me more than an hour to complete the last ten pages or so(& I am a very fast reader). I was just shaking and crying at the same time & rereading the same lines. And Nat after all gave Bartimaeus his last gift. He just SHOULD'NT have died!
