Artemis Fowl fans will likely enjoy the continued humor and perseverance of the characters that we have grown to love. Artemis, Butler, Juliet, Holly, Foley, and Mulch all figure prominently in the adventure. However, this seventh installment in the Artemis Fowl series introduces the concept of thralls and runs (magic with very little magic), a new super fairy villain, a fairy space program, and a strange disorder. It's almost too much. Still an interesting story, but less captivating.
I could barely stay engaged with the story because of so many things that appeared to be out of step with the world that Eoin Colfer had so diligently created in stories 1 through 5 (6 introduced time travel and a new species, so it was a bit off as well).
I would recommend that readers just skip this one, but I have not yet read #8.
Not my favorite Artemis book. Plot of the book felt like a sub-plot that didn't make it into a previous book. A little too easy to predict events, etc.
Still a fun read, but not my favorite.
I didn't love this one as much, can't decide if it was me not paying attention, or the story was just a little less cohesive...but still enjoyed it well enough to move on to the next one! :)
