All I can say is: what the fudge?! Intellectually I understand the series couldn't go on forever but I'm not sure that was any sort of ending I can get behind.

Last guardian started off well enough, thankfully fixing the horror that was The Atlantis Complex within the first chapter and I did enjoy the quick lurch into action but it didn't have the right feeling to it. Something was just a little off about the whole thing which suggests that it really was time for the series to end, perhaps two books ago. Holly was awesome as usual and Artemis was just as he should have been, silly off kilter since the whole mental illness thing but also developing into a feeling man being. It bugs me that I can't put my finger on what it was about this book that just didn't feel right. Perhaps it's just the slightly ridiculous Holly/Artemis shipper in me but so much more could have been done with the accidentally aged clone which so should have had some fairy DNA mixed in with it's cocktail.

But I'll get over it. And I guess, as far as series enders go, we could have done a lot worse.
