Artemis Fowl and the Last Guardian - Eoin Colfer

Book: Artemis Fowl and the Last Guardian
Author: Eoin Colfer
Releasedate: 10 July, 2012

Currently known as the last book in a series of wonderful novels. Artemis Fowl and the Last Guardian marks an eventful book filled with memories from throughout the series.  I've read every single one of them with a lot of fun. And now my journey has ended with this one. Without spoilers; the ending felt complete. Wondering if there ever will be more to explore within this amazing fantasyworld created by Eoin Colfer. She gives a new perspective considering elves, trolls, leprechauns, fairies, demons and so forth. Who knew leprechauns were actually underground fairy police? ;-) 

At the start of the series I couldn't stand Artemis. He was precocious and driven by greed. But I admired his intellectual capacities. During the series he becomes older en given the circumstances, he becomes wiser. Constantly one step ahead of everyone, even the insanely smart centaur Foaly can't shake him off. Guarded by his huge bodyguard Butler he thinks he's sort of invincible. The wonderful world of faires has shown him otherwise. 

Mulch the dwarf has also won a spot in my heart with his outrageous outbursts and selfish behaviour. But deep down there is a spark of decency which provides more than one time to be of value to the group that Artemis surrounds himself with. That bumflap though... Brrr. the stuff of nightmares.

A keyperson to this all is ofcourse Holly Short, a LEP Recon(leprechaun, haha, there you have it) officer at the start of the series. She really reminds me of myself with her strong character, her ability to stay cool in emergency situations, but also to break some rules when it's absolutely necessary. At least; when we think it is. 

Now concerning the last book; it's quite epic to see how the events turn out. How people rise and fall because of their own ideas and to see what ancient history in this world can do. Several aspects from the previous books return in this one and it's wonderful to see what part they will play. 

I really enjoyed the style of writing that Eoin Colfer manages to display. It's not too difficult English, in spite of what Artemis says ofcourse. Master Genius. I've read quite a lot of books that were a bit more upscaling concerning the difficulty of the words, but I'm inclined to say that it is an issue. It is very easy to read her books. So ofcourse, I devoured them. She can really bring you along in her fantasyworld and knows how to tickle your imagination.

It's a shame I'm done for now with the series. I really liked it.

I would definitely say this is a awesome series to read if you're into fantasy and easyreading.

Well, let's see what my next review will be...
