He was nice to them, but if he hated someone, it was probably pretty transparent.

Barti: Not. Nice. At. All.

Exactly.

He was nice to Barti at the end, though.

Except at first when Barti had to be summoned in him.

Somewhere:

wrote:Send this cursed demon in somewhere I can't remember.

But that's about it.

In the end, Barti says

wrote:I'd like to have told him what I thought of him...I think he knew anyway

WOuld he have said that he respected/loved Nat, and would Nat have felt the same?

He respected Nate, certainly, because what Barti had seen in him as a child had finally broken through, and I'd guess the feeling was mutual. Barti was annoyed with him, though, for being the second person he cared about to dismiss him and sacrifice themselves.

But Nat wasn't annoyed, so I don't think that was the feling that was mentioned. Maybe it was regret, that they hadn't become such good friends or they wouldn't see each other again. (I'm a hopeless romantic)

Nat wasn't annoyed, but Barti was, because whenever he seriously cares about a human, they go and sacrifice themselves and save him.

Is Barti annoyed because he can't do vice versa?

Barti only seriously cared for Nat at the end in his body when they were one. I guess he finally saw into Nat's mind and decided he was decent.

And then he was annoyed he had to kark it.

Correct.

I think Barti would rather he sacrificed himself and saved the people he cares for, rather than vice-versa.

Well, actually, I think he was annoyed when Nat told him he was a good servant. But then he sort of regreted it. I don't really feel he felt annoyed, just a tiny bit angry and very sad. Same for Ptolemy.

Maybe after he was annoyed, but I only saw furiousness ever mentioned. Just mainly sadness.

I think he was annoyed at first, but then when he understood what Nat was doing for him, the feeling evaporated. Because I'm sure Nat didn't need to dismiss Barti. It wasted his own strength. but he did it anyway.

Its little unexpected though isn't it? (the whole Nat dying thing and dismissing Bartimaeus)

Not really, I guessed it 'cause Nat was going to die, and they previously told us that Ptolemy dismissed Barti as well. It was pretty obvious also 'cause they gave us an entire chapter to think about it, when it was Kitty's PoV

no I meant like before the chapter, but it was obvious when Kitty said So much for your promises or something like that...

I'm surprised she didn't cry, or show sadness. She's tough.

My friends in the UK told me Nat lived.

And I believed them, so I was shocked at the end.

Humph.
