Well, I finally finished The Last Guardian. I don't know what took me so long. It wasn't like it was a big book or anything. I don't really know... Anyway, it was a good ending to one of my top 10 favorite book series. Artemis Fowl saved the world (again), only this time, he died. The book spent a few chapters talking about how he was going to sacrifice himself, but I didn't think it would actually happen. The main character hardly ever dies. However, he ended up coming back to life. Basically, they cloned him, and used magic to transport the soul of the real Artemis into the clone. The catch is, he doesn't remember anything. So, on the last page, one of the other main characters, starts to tell him something about Artemis Fowl and China.
It sounded familiar to me, so I started to check up on it. Sure enough, it was the opening paragraph of the very first book in the series, Artemis Fowl. This led me to believe that this character was the narrator all along, and that the whole series was just her recounting the various adventures to Artemis. I probably would have been disappointed, if I hadn't experienced something similar before. In the "Prince of Persia" video game series, the main character ends up having to explain the events of all the previous games to someone, which shows that all the games have just been him telling her the story. Also, he does the same thing, and uses the opening phrase of the first game to begin his story, just like the character in The Last Guardian.
