 Bellus 2008-09-28 . chapter 1really really good! You write extremely well :D |
 Stardawn 2008-05-09 . chapter 1I think that was really well written. For a scary moment there at the beginning I thought that Nouda had survived. Yeah, everyone kinda forgot about Jane at the end of the book because there was too much else going on. But I think this is sort of what i would have imagined would have happened if i'd thought about it. Like i said, i thinks it's incredible. |
 katie janeway 2006-12-12 . chapter 1*Grins* Ah, Ms. Farrar...yes, she would be thinking along those lines, wouldn't she? Oh well. She won't be missed.
And thank you, thank you for not bringing Nathaniel back to life! |
 Luciene 2006-06-07 . chapter 1 I really liked this story, because you managed to write it without bashing Jane, whom I actuaally like.
I coudn't say that for a lot of reviewers here *glare*, but it's a really good fic.
Update soon! |
 Random Stuff About Stuff 2006-03-05 . chapter 1Jane Farrar's a bit of an idiot, isn't she? Never liked her. Never liked her name, either.
This was really good, though. I just finished Ptolemy's Gate, which my dear friend Tzaryn was so kind as to loan to me, and now I'm back to haunting the Bartimaeus fandom and wishing that my little brother would hurry up and finish it so that I can have someone to discuss it with.
Darn! I've been trying to stop reviewing with long ramblings about my life. Sorry.
Anyway, really good story, I'm going back to reading your other stuff now. Bye! |
 InuDani 2006-01-16 . chapter 1sweet!
Loved the detail!

 TheFasterYouUpdateTheBetter 2005-12-22 . chapter 1 I honestly don't think Jane could've survived, but if she did, I'm sure she would've done something along those lines. Overall, good job, and keep writing! |
 bluekiwibubble 2005-11-03 . chapter 1Before reading, I guess it's Jane Farrar. I actually discovered the Bartimaeus section of when I was a few chapters off the end of Ptolemy's Gate, and having read the summary of this fic, Farrar's disappearance stood out to me. :)
This is a very good fic, interesting because of being fomr the PoV of a minor character. I think you got her characterization realy well, especially the part about the government and being ruled by 'people lower than dirt'. [I like that bit =) ] Her views against the commoners reminds me of the Death Eater's in Harry Potter view of Muggles.
The bit about Mandrake was sad. Imagine her when she found out he was dead. hmm.
Good fic. |
 The Thirteenth Councilor 2005-10-28 . chapter 1Yay! She's alive!
What? What do you mean, 'That's a bad thing.'?
Why does everyone hate her so much? She's just a person who happens to oppose the protagonist. She's not evil, or anything.
In my opinion, anyways.
Great fic, nonetheless. |
 Bowles 2005-10-25 . chapter 1Ugh, I'm bad about reviewing. Well, anyway, nice piece on Farrar, and what could've happened to her after Book 3. It seems realistic for her character especially, and I like how it's somewhat ironic: many of her presumptions are based on her misassumption that Nat is alive. And of course, the end is perfect for a fic like this. |
 Grim and Mogget 2005-10-22 . chapter 1I like this one. It's a good take on Farrar, as it sort of gives her an identity besides The Other Woman that often appears in Kitty/Nathaniel stories. I also like how it ended with, for lack of a more intelligent way of putting it, a "dun dun DUN" feeling - like you could continue if you wanted to. (But I'm assumiing you don't want to, since this is a one-shot.)
Anyway, your descriptions were good, very vivid, and it was an interesting look into Farrar's head. I'm glad Ptolemy's Gate left room for fanfiction - it would have been very disappointing if Stroud had completely tied off every loose end. Good work. |
 thinofsubstance 2005-10-20 . chapter 1*eyes widen in disbelief* Not one, but TWO new stories? But...but...but... GAH! *tears at hair* Happiness overload! *bangs head against a wall*
.
.
.
*bang* Jane Farrar...
.
.
.
*bang* Alive...
.
.
.
*bang* She's an idiot.
*snort* Thinking Nathaniel was still alive. God, if she's barely alive--she who went around like a moron with her wolves--, then he--he who wielded the Staff and attacked the demons on their own level--hasn't got much of a chance, has he? *rolls eyes* I mean, come on. Seriously, now. I think her denile stems from an irrational refusal to believe that he can die. Wonder why, actually... Hum. Maybe Kitty has some competition, after all. Not that it really matters now that he's dead.
I can't believe that he's DEAD. It's so unfair! Gah!
Okay, I'm better now.
.
.
.
Well...maybe.
.
.
.
Okay, I'm not. But oh well. I haven't even been talking about this fic, have I? No, of course not. I've been rambling. Like I usually do. *rolls eyes* Sorry about that...
Fic was good, I just expect one shots to be more introspection. I mean, the ending kinda makes the reader think that you're going to go on and write a chapter fic about Jane's life after... But this IS a one shot. I dunno... It just kinda takes me by surprise. That's it, though. It's perfect otherwise. |
