Eoin Colfer
One week after their eleventh birthday, the Fowl twins--scientist Myles, and Beckett, the force of nature--are left in the care of house security (NANNI) for a single night. In that time they befriend a troll who has clawed his way through the earth's crust to the surface. Unfortunately for the troll, he is being chased by a nefarious nobleman and an interrogating nun, who both need the magical creature for their own gain, as well as a fairy-in-training who has been assigned to protect him. The boys and their new troll best friend escape and go on the run. Along the way they get shot at, kidnapped, buried, arrested, threatened, killed (temporarily), and discover that the strongest bond in the world is not the one forged by covalent electrons in adjacent atoms, but the one that exists between a pair of twins.

"I stumbled across a ARC of this book at a local thrift shop. I had no idea that Eoin Colfer was writing the sequel to the Artemis Fowl series until I found this. I read through it and found I enjoyed it. <br/><br/>"

"It doesn't quite live up to the original series (which, it is relevant, is literally my favorite book series of all time). One of the things that made the original books great is that they were completely unrealistic because they were about a twelve-year-old boy doing completely adult things with the added fantasy element of the fairies.<br/><br/>Lord Teddy Bleedham-Drye, Duke of Scilly, and Sister Jeronima are not realistic human villains. They are, quite honestly, completely ridiculous villains. I didn't get enough fairy. I didn't get enough Fowl. I just...this book was just a silly book. It wasn't everything I loved about Artemis Fowl. <br/><br/>It's basically the same plot as The Eternity Code (eccentric billionaire kidnaps a Fowl to get his hands on something fairy-related). The Eternity Code was GOOD. It had this crazy, complex plan and we got to watch it play out from a bunch of different angles. This never felt high-stakes for me the way The Eternity Code did. Even if you take into account that AF was supposed to be a trilogy, so The Eternity Code needed to ramp things up a lot, this never even reached the level of the original Artemis Fowl. <br/><br/>What I like about Artemis Fowl is that it never felt like I was reading a children's book. This felt like a children's book. Maybe that's what it's supposed to be?"

"Got this book at a free book giveaway, it's my favorite wind down fantasy, it's exciting yet it eases your mind as you lay in your pillows"

"I liked that part in the beginning where they were scooped up by the NANNI AI system and taken to safety"

"I really enjoyed the Fowl Twins, having just finished the Artemis Fowl original series, however, this one felt like it was missing some of the charm of the first series because of it's smaller cast. Beckett is supposed to fill the role of Mulch and Butler, but the paternal dynamic from Butler and the humor that came with Mulch just wasn't there. NANNI was supposed to be like Foley, I suppose, but again, there just wasn't enough oomph. I hope that the cast is strengthened in the next book, because I really miss the charm of the old cast. Maybe even just including Juliet would help?"
