abuseGreat story. I know I'm a bit late on the review, but I never read this before, so bear with me.
I'm not sure if these mistakes are noticed before but Bartimaeus is fourth level, not fourteenth and Ptolemy is Egyptian.

abuseWoop. Finished it. Great story. Throughout the whole thing I felt as if I were reading from the book.

I really loved how you portrayed the characters. Especially Bartimaeus. Ah. I love that guy.

I liked how it was really thought out and the foreshadowing about the hand was rather clever.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this. I'm going to ask for a sequel just because I haven't checked the rest of your work; you probably already have one.

If you don't, get to writing!

abuseAnd, quite frankly, Nathaniel and Kitty were having eye-sex.

Another favorite one-liner.
Ah. Almost done.
And right now, it's 345 in the morning.
That should tell you how into your story I am.
Good BT fics are hard to come by these days.

abuseI've been reading this for about two hours straight now, (alternating between fish tycoon and myspace) and so far, the Morris stuff out there, oh MY. Favorite part of the story.
But, being a true romantic, I can't wait for the fluff.
Great story so far!
Will ne readin the rest. :]

abuseWow, this story is amazing. i really enjoyed reading it, and some parts were just hilarious.
But you do know that Ptolemy is Egyptian, not African like you stated, right?

abuseMorris is a brilliant (I mean that in terms of your creation of him, not as in 'Morris is brilliant') OC. "Sheer animal magnetism." Fantastic.

abuseI love CSI too, by the way. Nicely done, though it seemed to lack the feel of the Bartimaeus-verse in some parts. Besides that it's very well written and the plot has caught my interest. Wonderful job. I can't wait to read more.

abuseI'm just too lazy to write you the long an all-round review your EXCELLENT story deserves, and I'm not so good in writing in English (read it and write it are very different tasks)to do it properly, so..

WOW!! THIS IS A GREAT STORY! BRAVO!! ^__^

abuse" I certainly didn’t want to see anything indecent if the nurse was checking his valuables, which would have been traumatizing for both him and myself. To my relief, the room was empty. "

Was a nice little quote to laugh at.

I'm satisfied with this.

It takes a much different tone from the actual third book, but, I think I preferred this story, over the third book.

The whole gate thing was a little iffy though. =)

abuseWhen I first started reading this story I took it for a minor side story, seeing as I had already read the third book. Then I realized it was a full length thought out story. The whole CSI thing threw me off, but then realizing the nature of Nat's job, I'm sure that's what you'd thought it was all about. I read the first chapter over with a different point of view, and thus, whoosh, hooked. The last couple chapters are very melodramatic though.

abuse" “Finally,” breathed Nathaniel. His page had loaded. “Ah, damn pop-ups. Die, pop-ups, die!” "

Was very out of character. D:

abuseI loved the chapter Brains, Brawns and Magnetism.

The actual Bartimaeus series was rather gloomy, and this really brightens the outlook for humans.

Bartimaeus is another story. XDD

abuseRight.

Well, I've spent the past...

...

...four days reading your (EXCELLENT(!)) fic. When I finished it, I went back, and read all of the author's notes again. THEN, I read all (-checks-) 181 of your reviews. I am hereby joining the ranks of your rabid fans.

I will not start with 'I think I love you'.

I know I love you.

You have written what is by far the most amazing story in this entire section. Your characterizations are flawless, your OCs are amazing, and I have followed Seethru into the Corner of Shamed Writers sometime in Chapter One.

I give you your thirty-second WOW. That is the ONLY appropriate word to describe your story. No, there are no appropriate words to describe this story. Words do not express the complete and utter amazing awesome-ness of this story / you / your writing skills.

Thank you. You have improved this section of fanfiction forever.

abuseYou're really the big man in the Bart. section right now. With good reason too. Excellent, excellent writing. I'll review more when I have time to read another chapter later. Got to run.
Thanks for writing this, and I hope you write another story for this fandom soon.

Me too.
