I think it would have been nice if Bart talked a little more about her, but hey, how much can u ask for in a book?

He never got revenge on Queezle (read an older post asking this) because he realized the assailant was Golem.
he was powerless.
Must've pissed him off.

Ok, here's the reply you're looking for. Or so I believe. Remember in the first book where it says that although some demons may like one another, they can't really form relationships and keep their relationships on a temporary and shiftable basis due to what happened to that afrit, i think that was ordered to kill a demon he liked. Rememer? Giant explosion and all that...anyway, aside from the fact that she was a fellow djinni and his "Friend", I'd somewhat understand why he only wanted to avenge her once. hope I answered your Q.

He's right though.

Wow, the noob hit the nail on the head.
Took us three pages to do that (interestingly enough right around when I popped up I think...).
I'm impressive.

And I'll second Apollo's second.
I square it then, aha.

How do you think Queezle died? Detonation, or general beaten to pulp?

Can a golem do a Detonation?

Nope, can't.
It's the opposite of a spirit.

Probably squeezed or crushed until death.
if she had died.
She's in Paris, incidentally.

agree. ptolemy was unique than queezle. ptolemy treated bartimaeus as an equal evethough he is a human and bartimaeus was a demon. :D

Well, comparing Ptolemy to Queezles a bit unfair, but I think I agree with you.

I thought it was weird that Bartimaeus didn't care about her death also. She was basically the only person (besides Ptolemy, and maybe Kitty) who he seemed to like. It just makes him seem like more of a heartless... well... demon. Which he is, basically.

And... he did care, a little. He was pretty angry, once he faced the fact that it was unlikely he'd see her again.
Ditto to Sent.

I think he did care, he was just too confused to show it.
Look, Queezle.
