Both my school and my library has IE.

And I don't think anybody in my real life has even heard of FF before.

do you guys want to get back on topic? sorry, i don't have time to read 9 pgs. and figure out what went on.

i think that by the end of the 3rd book, when nathaniel changes(hey, this reminds me of artemis fowl!!), i think she starts to return his feelings.

Exactly how old was Kitty, anyway? From what I've read, she must've be 19 or so by the third book unless I missed something.

Are you sure about that? Barti said she looked 18, but they never say her current age. I thought she was 19, because she was 13 during the Mouler incident, and 3 years pass. So, unless I missed something, she should've been 19, no?

Two years between AoS and GE. Three years between GE and PG.

Yes, but remember, Kitty says once in GE Nat looks like the kids he is. Now, this would be kind of presumptuous if she was only 1 year older than him, no?

Kitty's much older mentally than Nate in that book. Fighting a resistance war for years does that to you.
Besides, if Kitty was a year older, Nate would be too...

Yes, but you don't see that many humble 13-year olds referring to a 12-year old as "just a kid". It just seems out of place -_-

What can we say? Underwood said he would balk at the prospect of summoning a djinn of Bartimaeus' power (so-so), so Kitty > most magicians, hm?

It's a figure of speech... you can refer to an eighty year old as a kid, but that does not mean he actually is.

Nate's a magician. He's physically and mentally much younger than Kitty. She's also insulting him.

Underwood was just an imbecile. There are lots like him in the government. But the people with the REAL power can summon Barti easily. Whitwell, Duvall, Deveraux's 9th level bodyguards, etc., could have done it easily. Lovelace had both Farqual, Jabor, the sentries, an imp, a Natterjack Impling, etc.

well, to me, the fact that kitty summoned bartimaeus shows that's she's just a lot more open and trusting then most magicians. She could've easily made a mistake, more easily then any magician, and then gone 'poof!'

There's really no point for insults if the guy's unconscious. He keeps thinking of him throughout Golem's Eye as a child. Like I said, it just seems out of place for a (in this case) 15-year old to think of a 14-year old as a child.

And don't give me that. Nat's certainly been through a lot more than Kitty. Humiliated by Lovelace, master and wife killed by same person, house burned down, wanted criminal, and went up against a Greater Spirit. Only 12 too.

Exactly. Meaning, as a magician, Kitty is above-average.
