Reviews

While I really feel that it deserves 3.5 stars, this volume of Artemis Fowl was a fun continuation of the story, but ultimately I found that Artemis’s character growth made him seem like less and less the genius that he was in the first book. As always, I found the action remarkably well described and I think that, should they ever make these books into movies, the action sequences in the scenes have already been choreographed. I like how the characters have come together as a unit. While Butler was mostly out of this book due to an incident early in the story, his sister Juliet comes more to the forefront and becomes a valuable part of the team. I particularly liked the rapport that Holly, Juliet, and Mulch had. All in all, it’s a good continuation of the storyline. But it’s just good - not spectacular or particularly memorable for me. I recommend this chapter of the Artemis Fowl series to those that have read the prior books.

This book moved so much more quickly than I remembered. It's like I blinked and the book was over! We once again follow ACTUAL criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl (not the whiny child presented in the movie. Seriously, if you've never read these books, don't judge them based on that dumpster fire) as he attempts one last con before going straight. Of course, it goes awry and he requires assistance from the fairy folk. This time, there is a price for their help. I just love Artemis so much. He's such a snotty little brat, always claiming he knows better than you, but that's because he does. Nothing gets past him. He has backup plans, from Plan B to Plan Z, and probably a handful more than that too. He is the center of his little found family, as unlikely as they all are together. All the other characters are wonderful too, but if I were to give them all their own paragraphs, this review would be ten miles long. So just know that they're fantastic. The heist in this book is full of twists and turns, and like I said, Artemis always has a solution for every seemingly unsolvable problem. I'd forgotten just how ingenious this kid is. I don't remember this as one of my absolute favorites in the series, and I still don't think it is, but it's still a great installment.
