Quite.
If I had to pick a specific moment, I'd choose either the first summoning at the very beginning, or the entire Ramuthra scene.

In PG, when the djinn attack Hopkins-Faquarl. It was extremely similar to Star Wars: RotS, when the Jedi under Mace Windu attack Palpatine.

Sorry. Had to say it.
What about best part in which Nat participated (or witnessed)?

Very well then.
I now ask another question, and open a sub-topic in the process.
If you could have one other ability besides resilience, what would it be?
Examples-
Aura
Planes
Obsessively strong resilience
etc.

Best moment I think was Bart's description of The staff when Nat activates it.

...It was hard to see how the situation could possibly get any worse.

A froth of steam, a roar, a mad, red eye lowered to my level.

"Bartimaeus!"

Well, that was one way. Bull-head was no longer squabbling. He had suddenly remembered who I was. "I know you now!" he cried. "Your voice! Yes it is you--the destroyer of my people! At last! I have waited twenty-seven centuries for this moment!"

When you're faced with a comment like that, it's hard to think of anything to say.

The utukku raised his silver spear and howled out the triumphant battle cry that his kind always deliver with the death stroke.

I settled for whirring my wings. You know, in a forlorn, defiant sort of way.




I liked that part. (obviously)

Was there a particular place you Copy+Pasted that from or did you transcribe (is that the right word?) it straight from the books? 'Cause if you did, that's... dedicated?

Vinr is dedicated to the Barti books. Told me himself. ;)

Most of us are.
It's why we're here.
I like the little side comments Faquarl and Bart pass on the way out of the place.

I nearly died with laughter when Bart recommended Faquarl to Nathaniel just before his dismissal. That whole para was sooooooooo funny.
