In Ptolemy's Gate did Nathaniel really die?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, spoiler alert! Yeah, Nathaniel totally bites the dust in "Ptolemy's Gate." Like, he sacrifices himself to save Kitty and Bartimaeus. It's a real tear-jerker, man. But hey, that's the price you pay for dabbling in magic and power, am I right?

Answer 2

In the book "Ptolemy's Gate" by Jonathan Stroud, Nathaniel does indeed die at the end of the story. After sacrificing himself to save Kitty and Bartimaeus, Nathaniel passes away, leaving behind a legacy of bravery and selflessness. His death marks a poignant moment in the series, showcasing the ultimate price one may pay in the pursuit of a greater good.

Answer 3

Yes, it seems he did. At the end 4 days later Kitty goes back and Nathaniel and Nouda are gone. She then says, so much for promises (or something around those lines) pointing to him promising her that he would see her outside.

Very unsatisfying ending in my opinion
