The story takes place after the events of the original Artemis Fowl series (which I loved!), and the twins find themselves in the middle of an adventure involving stolen artwork and mythical creatures.
Eoin continues to write with with plenty of humour and clever wordplay throughout the story. The characters are well-developed and each have their own unique personalities, making them easy to root for and relate to.

Whilst a few issues as an adult reading a children's book still massivly enjoyable and with Colfer's usual wit and an entertaining extension to the fowl serries

Such a whirlwind read. I never read the original Artemis Fowl books but at no point did I feel like this was an issue. This is perfect for strong, young readers with a really twisty and action packed plot. Real fun to read.

3.5 stars.
I love this cover. I wish it was the cover I have in the library.
This will never take the place of the first three Artemis Fowl series for me but is as good as the later books in that same series. It was enjoyable. I will probably keep reading the rest in the series.

I have always been a fan of Artemis Fowl and Eoin Colfer's writing. It was nice to be able to dive into the world of LEP and meeting Holly again through the extension of this series of books. It mentioned Artemis a few times, but he wasn't essential to the storyline which is nice if you haven't read the previous books.
I loved the twins and how they are complete opposites, yet understand each other on a different level that I believe only twins can experience. I love that they show intelligence in different ways as well. One is more mentally intelligent while the other is more physical is the idea you get as a reader. I like how it moves away from this throughout the story and shows how each of the boys are intelligent in their own ways and how they can respect each other because of it.
I love the cover of the book. There are not a lot of books with orange covers so the color makes it stand out quite a bit on a bookshelf or when looking for it in a store. I love the way the twins are illustrated because I was having a hard time determining what they would look like from the author's words.
