That is right. Eoin Colfer, you never fail me. Really.
The song I listened to when I was finishing the book was somewhat soothing, and close to Artemis.
It was classical obviously. A song in Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition. Il vecchio castello andante. It was soothing, and sort of foreshadowing the events that would happen in the epilogue. From what I'm taking, Eoin is not ending it at The Time Paradox.
If he did, then he definitely wouldn't have ended it off with Trouble talking with Foaly about Opal Koboi's disappearance. And also the last few words of, "And call Holly. ... Inform the captain that her weekend leave is canceled."
But anyways, enough of my predictions. (I do however hope that Eoin Colfer will use Beckett and Myles. He wouldn't just introduce them in the fifth book, and give them unimportant rolls in the sixth book. So I'm patiently waiting XD;)
The book itself. Ahh, I can't believe that I was right on with the Kraken's being involved. Because yet again, Eoin just doesn't introduce something without it having a purpose.
But it has amazed me on how much Artemis has matured. From the first book, (lol, and I guess bits and pieces of the sixth book as well, seeing as he
does go back in time) to the sixth book. He used to be a power greedy person, only caring about himself and money. But in the newest book, he went so far as to save an extient animal. For no cost. (Well, at the beginning he was doing it all for his mother, who was just being controlled by Opal Koboi.) Heh, the maturity levels are amazing.
As well was the humorous scene of Artemis being a defendant. I might just have to draw a picture of defendant Artemis and post it on dev as well on the phoenix wright community XD; But that will be later when I can actually free draw and not worry about Economics homework, or Drivers Ed, or Anime Fest's panels or artist booths.
Which will be soon old friend. (God, I'm too much on a high from Artemis Fowl that I'm even quoting him XD) But it was amusing because Holly (when they went back into the past.) kept calling Artemis "Arty." It so much reminded me of their actual first confrontation, the one where Holly is no longer Artemis' prisoner. The lollipop scene. XD; "But I don't like lollipops..." X3
Ahh, and No1. He's so innocently adorable. :3 His childishness can tend to be slightly annoying, but once you get used to it, you learn to appreciate it. XD And what he did to Jayjay was so nobal too. The poor lemur shouldn't have to die for some fairy cause.
D: I do wish, however, that Eoin didn't add the whole Extinshionist bit. Well, what their dinner came in. Those poor baby sea turtles. D'8 It made me somewhat sickish. And the realization came to me that there are some people who think that "humans are the devine race." out there in the world. D:
And lolwtf? Holly and Artemis kiss. It's not a serious kiss, like the proclamation of love kind, but more like, oh-my-god-you're-alive! kind. But it was a kiss none the same. It sort of made my inner het fangirl squeal with delight. X3; I had a feeling something or another would happen like that in the near future. After all, Artemis has been friends with the fairy for the span of five books. (I'm not counting the first one, because, really, lets be honest now. Holly would've probably killed Artemis if she had the option too in the first book.)
And after all, Artemis also respects Holly, something he has yet to admit with that Minerva girl from the fifth book. But it would've been awkward anyways, because he's supposed to be 17, however he's still 14.
Which was another thing that amazed me. The little swap Artemis did with his past self. When the past Artemis mentioned 10 year old, it sort of went over my head. Hell, I had to re-read the short paragraph over and over again to fully understand what had just happened XD. God. Simply. Amazing.
Words could not describe how I felt.
And Angalina knowing half of Artemis' adventures. :O My goodness! That must have been one hell of a conversation. And long as well.
Reading The Time Paradox just made me realize how much I adore the Artemis Fowl series. I do hope to see something from Eoin Colfer Artemis related in the near future.
:3 Something with the twins would be nice too. It would be interesting to see if Beckett and Myles assisted Artemis in some way or another, after all. Opal Koboi is still on the loose. And what better way to hit a low blow at Artemis Fowl then to abduct his brothers? XD;
Yeah okay. I think a re-reading of the series is in order. After reading the events that caused the past Artemis to get interested in fairies. And I vaguely remember reading something about red sparks in the first book. Which had caused his adventures.
:O And my God, I just realized something. What Eoin Colfer's doing in the Artemis Fowl series, is something I'm doing in Catch me if you Can, and as well as Die another Day. (Which will be the sequel's title. I believe. I'm comfortable with it XD And d's do come after c's XD; and it's keeping up the odd number in length. XD)
God bless his soul XD; anyways, enough of my blabbering! :3
