The Fowl Twins Get What They Deserve 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.
The Fowl twins are at it again! And this time, their adventures are only mostly Myles's fault! Lord Teddy has been plotting his revenge for nearly two years, and he's finally ready to give them their just reward-death.
These books will never live up to the Artemis Fowl series, at least in my opinion. Myles is is a giant jerk, Beckett reads younger than he is (though I love him), and Lazuli, while being great, isn't Holly. Nevertheless, they are still a delightful addition to the Fowl family tales.
Sadly, I think this ended up being my least favorite of the trilogy thus far. The blurb has this line it it: "Ghosts, clones, and fairy magic come to play in this ultimate and ridiculous showdown between the twins and their worst enemy." Well, I can tell you that it is 100% right-it is absolutely ridiculous. For a fantasy book, it went just a little too far into fantastical for me, which is really saying something. Myles finally comes into his brand of magic in an insane, almost unbelievable way, and then it isn't really mentioned again. There is no resolution to those powers. I'm sure it will come up in the next book, but it just left me wanting more explanation.
However, that ending made up for a lot. Specialist Lazuli finally gets what she's been wanting her whole life. I'm very sad that we didn't get to see the resolution, but I look forward to seeing it in the next book.
