Deny All Charges by Eoin Colfer
4.0
I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and were not affected by the free copy.
I absolutely LOVED Artemis Fowl. I grew up reading them, and I still reread them every year. Luckily, the Fowl Twins did not let me down. I don't love them as much, but they are still a wild ride. Myles and Beckett are Artemis's little brothers. And they are a handful! Myles is a genius who believes he is smarter than his brother and hates Einstein, and Beckett is a savant of his own sort-he is instinctively a genius at all things physical, and he can talk to animals to boot! Their LEP handler is a pixel named Lazuli, and in her own way, she is quite gifted. Unable to perform magic, she learned languages the hard way and studied all types of martial arts. Together, they are quite a team. But what happens if one of them goes missing?
Eion's books are always amusing, full of flashbacks, flashforwards, and even flash-sideways, letting us see all characters' points-of-view, and the plans they made where we couldn't hear. Myles is definitely an arrogant jerk, but Beckett is life. He makes us see who his brother truly is, and I absolutely adore him. Myles, I tolerate because he makes Beckett happy. I enjoyed seeing Angeline and Artemis Senior in this book, fulfilling their roles as concerned parents. So much of the original series they spent not part of their son's life or mind-wiped, so this was a wonderful change for them.
I love getting to see small glimpses of Captain-ehem-Commodore Short. She is such a fun character, and I really, REALLY hope we get to see Artemis and Butler sometime in the series. I will definitely be recommending these books out to young and young-at-heart alike.
