Description A meme for the Bartimaeus Trilogy! ZOMG! Seriously, guys. This is my second favorite book series after Twilight, and they are just absolutely brilliant! The tragedy? No one knows about them. They are the most underrated series ever.

Which is a shame, because they are better than Harry Potter.

YES, I SAID IT. And I mainly say that because, while I did like Harry Potter, I never liked the explanation given for the different worlds of wizards and Muggles. So much heartache and death could have been avoided if wizards just freaking remembered how to use AK-47s. This is all I'm saying. However, in the Bartimaeus Trilogy, everything fits seamlessly together and the protagonist, Nathaniel, is DIVINELY flawed. And I haven't even gotten into how BRILLIANT Bartimaeus is as a character/narrator. GAH.

Yuppers. So if you haven't read them, read them now. If you have, YAY!

COUPLA THINGS:
-That's how I picture the imps!
-Barty is hot as Ptolemy!
-I'm not sure if it ever says that Lovelace has a ponytail, but that's how I imagine him. And with white hair, too. I'm not sure if this is accurate, as I haven't read any of the books in a year...
-HONORIUS! I really can't pick between the books because I think they are all phenomenal and have the most AWESOME CLIMAXES EVER. But I loved Honorius in The Golem's Eye. He is the most creeptastic character ever. He reminds me of No-Face from Spirited Away, only MUCH crazier.
-My favorite scene: This is at the end of Amulet of Samarkand, when Barty and Nat are trying to break into Lovelace's party. I know Bart isn't wearing his Ptolemy guise here, but... I just like drawing him like that. Anyway, it's a testament to the sad state of my mind that this is my favorite scene... And honestly, these books give off the slashiest vibes sometimes...
-KITTY! IS AWESOME!
-Jonathan Stroud is a master of plot. And on his site, you can see just how he plans everything out. And it fascinates me.
-I drew Nathaniel from Book 2, I guess, with his long greasy hair. And he's holding his awesome scrying glass of awesome.
- BART/KITTY FOREVER! Oh yay! Love those two together. I'm actually not opposed to Bart/Nat at all, though, even though I really hate slash most of the time. Like I said, the books give off slashy vibes, so I completely understand the Bart/Nat ship.
-I can't remember a lot of details about the books, but I distinctly remember Bartimaeus getting in a female guise of a girl with blond hair and glasses. Or thinking about doing it. Or something. And she may have been naked. I can't remember. Which makes me sad.

So, what I really love about these books is that they are as good as I remember them to be. Like, I read the first two, but then I wanted the last one to match when I bought it, so I waited almost two years for the third one to come out in paperback. And then I reread the first two, thinking, "Eh, it's been a while since I've read them. They probably won't be as good, or they might be too juvenile for me now." BUT THEY WEREN'T. THEY WERE EVEN MORE AWESOME.

So what are you going to do? READ THEM.

I'm confused which pairing I should go for. I'm more of a NxK, but KxB seems more intimate and their bond is strong, also NxB

hahaha They do give out the slashy vibe. I think Nat and Bart were the very reason I even got into slash. Even to the very end (I won't spoil the last moment for those who happen to cross by), but I always wanted those two together.
He did get in a female guise. It's when he was trapped and ( I can't really remember which book) he decided to go female with horns. There might have been another time he went into a female guise, but I'm not sure.

Let's see... I know he's a female when he's trapped in the Tower of London in the first book, and then I think again in the second. I'm also reading the prequel right now, and he is very fond of girl-guises. XD OH BARTY. Slash or not, I really do love the Nat/Bart friendship. Like, a lot.

OH NOES! I am tagged...good thing i got started last night, huh? it'll be a bit of an experiment, as this is the only thing so far that i have devoted any time to drawing with my tablet...it seems to be going well so far. wish me luck!

oh, and the lady with glasses was that librarian girl who he appeared to nat as while in a bubble whose head turned into a bull...and the naked thing was barty imagining appearing to twelve-year-old nat as a naked version of amanda cathcart after spying on lovelace. JUST to see what his reaction would be.

Hey! I remember reading this meme a while back and making a mental note to go read the books. And I'm reading them now! I've just finished the 2nd one and I just couldn't wait to tell you how you've turned me into a fan. Haha I love Barty, and I also thought Honorius was awesome! Probably because, I know I shouldn't picture him with a face since he's a skeleton, but I always think of Bill Nighy when I read about him. Haha So yeah...thanks for the great suggestion.

I LOVE Bartimaeus Only read them in Norwegian though, but the translation is great. They're some of my most favorite books ever - the characters are great, and Barty owns ya all^^
I'm reading them aloud for my brother now, and it only gets better. I love reading them for him - it goes so much slower then, and I really get all the details.
I think MY favorite moment is at the end of book three, with the Barty-inside-Natty-stuff... I cried at the end. I love those characters so much

Castiel7 [2009-05-21 18:24:07 +0000 UTC]

The Bartimaeus Trilogy is my favorite series ever, even more than Twilight and Harry Potter. I just love the way it is written, with Bart's impudent and snarky little comments. These books are way better than Harry Potter, but they get little or no recognition. Same with Twilight. I <3 The Bartimaeus Trilogy. I first read them years ago, and I (like you) reread them, expecting to find them boring/childish. Wrong. Just as mind-blowning as ever. Good books make for good art.

sunni-sideup In reply to Castiel7 [2009-05-21 22:06:42 +0000 UTC]

I love all three of those series for different reasons. I do get tired of comparing HP to Twilight because they are completely different genres. But I feel like there's more of a comparison/debate between HP and Bartimaeus. HP has great plot, and Bartimaeus has great plot and great characters. Not a big Harry fan, but I wind up rooting for Nathaniel all the time. So. There you go. And I really need to reread the Bartimaeus book AGAIN because I feel like I've forgotten EVERYTHING.
