Reviews For: As Warriors

LuckyRatTail 2005-12-27 ch 1,	abuseMh, very pensive, rather philosophical in a subtle way. A little off-tone for Bartimaeus, but I suppose, as you put so neatly "I guess it’s had quite an amount of time to brew within [his] soul". Nicely conveyed humour as well, I thought, reminding us of Barty's less-serious side while still pondering rather heavy subjects. Interesting angle. Well done.
mistressmarionette 2005-12-13 ch 1,	abuseMay I say that you rock, kick **, and all around rule the world? Because you do. This one shot totally blows me away. Your voice and characterization of Bartimaeus is awesome, and suits my image of a depressed Bartimaeus perfectly. The whole warrior theme was awesome, and the quivalent exchange idea. "I guess it's fair. I get the inhuman abilities, magicians get the ability to master me. I get the breaks, right?" That was probably my favorite part. I doubt that I could ever write a oneshot this awesome. Ever. (Incidentally, I just tried. I probably shouldn't have, since Ptolemy's Gate is out, I haven't read it yet as I live in America, and the two probably clash each other like squirrels and tigers, but I did it anyway. Oh well.) I'm definitely going to go read the rest of your stuff. Keep up the amazing awesome-possum-ness!
Priestess Adularia 2005-12-13 ch 1,	abuseI can't keep applauding you, you know So I'll whistle instead! Whistles until passing out from lack of breath
humhallelujah 2005-09-23 ch 1,	abuseThe summary is amazing. Really good job!
Random Stuff About Stuff 2005-09-01 ch 1,	abusethat was really good.
tanyart 2005-04-25 ch 1,	abuseLicks ficcy Excellent! It's as if you created the character Bartimaeus yourself. Great job! Adds to favorites
Simply Myself 2005-03-26 ch 1,	abuseCongratulations -- you've pulled off Angsty!Bartimaeus. And quite well, I must say. Simply Myself
thinofsubstance 2005-03-23 ch 1,	abuseWell. You've completed the cycle of angst. Many congratulations. Needless to say, the quality has not slacked off at all. Not a speck. The angst is still a palpable entity, lingering at the edge of actual sight. That's a good thing, by the way. A very good thing. Not to mention speaking eloquently about the nature of the master/slave relationship between the magicians and the djinni, your story also says a lot about servant hood (not to mention the arrogance of human kind) in general. The line "How is it right that one race can propel themselves above another?" reminds me of when slavery was at its peak, and blacks were being sold like cattle. Why IS it that white people seem to think that it's their birthright to enslave the world? First the whole slave issue, then Hitler and the Nazis. Ugh. Makes me wish I wasn't human some days. ...Fine. Most days. Anyways, I really liked this one, in case you couldn't tell. Great job.
Contrarian 2005-03-21 ch 1,	abuseAnother terrific one-shot. You sure have a knack for these. It's cool how you can write an angst fic about Bartimaeus, king of wit, and still keep him perfectly in character. Awesome. The insight was impressive, too. The section just keeps growing and growing. It makes me so happy. :D I'm looking forward to more of your writing, be it a one-shot like this or another installment for 'A Game of Chess'. Oh, speaking of that, I was too tired when I reviewed to say that having Nathaniel use chess pieces to analyze the situation was utterly brilliant. I was impressed, as always. And I'll stop rambling now. But hey, two reviews in one...cool, huh? All right, all right, I'm going. Sheesh. ;) See you!
Bismillah 2005-03-20 ch 1,	abuseOoh, love it... Bartimaeus speaking up for the oppressed entities... A very erudite look at his perspective, might I say... I really do enjoy how you tackled Bartimauus' feelings and his outlook on Nathaniel and magicians. A very well written piece...
Kelenariel Khelekkir 2005-03-20 ch 1,	abuseSomeone needs Prozac...not that it'll affect a demon, but he needs it anyway. Maybe if the demons would bond together with the Resistance and actually DO something, then maybe they could win! Hey, maybe that'll happen in Book Three...can't get my hopes up , though. ticks off another day until October 6th We're counting... Grammar: "They sit in luxury; we sit in pain, crippled by this unfair game we play." This is correct. I'm just saying that the semi-colon COULD be a colon or be made into a compound sentence. It COULD, but it doesn't have to be. This work really captures how the demons as a group must feel about their servitude. Stroud touches on it, but he doesn't go in depth about demon psychology. I'm glad someone drew out that thread and continued it. I had never really thought about it before. Good job, as usual. Keep up the good work too. -Kelenariel Khelekkir
