A fun fantasy read. Artemis has grown up a bit and is becoming quite a teenager. Not to fear, he's as genius as ever. It was a nice break from my current reading trend.

I really liked what this book added to the world. I liked the addition of the demons and warlocks to the world to add a different kind of magic. I really liked the characters of "N. 1" and Minerva. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Minerva and Artemis' relationship develop I was a little disappointed how Holly's story turned out I was really looking forward to see her outside the LEPD but it looks like that was all for nothing
I am really looking forward to the next one to see how the ending of this book will affect the world moving forward.
Spoiler
especially now that she had 3 years to think about him and she is now technically older than him. Tho I don't know how long that will last they might both be 15 soonSpoiler
the way this book ended it clear that she is going to go back and with Sool kicked out during the missing 3 years there is nothing holding her back.I am really looking forward to the next one to see how the ending of this book will affect the world moving forward.

It was fun and still felt like an Artemis Fowl book but Im not sure what it is adding to the series. I felt like the series ended fine in the previous book but now? Iām curious to see what happens next but not going to jump to it straight away.

I'd have given this book four stars
But the ending! Well, it deserves five stars just for the climax.
Artemis Fowl is a boy-genius who enters the hidden world of fairies to wreak havoc...
There are limits to this plot and the middle part of the story seemed like a retelling of book 1. It wasn't bad but felt little repetitive.
But then, the writer brings the climax...
The juxtaposition of science and magic...
The theme is simple, that magic is just another type of energy and it is all science... But actually implementing the theme in a way that we get the flavours of both, science and magic and neither of the two essences is diminished in the process, now that something different. That is the Lost Colony.
