The Eternity Code is the strongest book in the series so far.
Artemis has changed from the villainous mastermind 12-year old we met in the first book, but a lot of the things in his life has changed. He has family back, he has friends, and most importantly Artemis has grown a lot as a person: he has developed a conscience. None of which would have been possible if wasn't for fair-folk in the Lower Element Holly, Folly, Root, and of course Mulch.
But even with all of that, Artemis is not ready to let go of his criminal dealing entirely. And his hubris costs him big time. Let's just say there were some tears spilled over this book.
The plot was simply riveting and I think this is definitely the best book by far, not just in terms of characters, but also writing quality. It's almost as if it's growing more mature alongside the main character.
The end is wrapped up neatly - I'm guessing this was supposed to be the last book originally. And it ends on a good note if this is where you want to finish. I will go on reading the series from here.
I do have a couple of questions: a few of times Butler uses his influence to prod Artemis onto the right path? Why hasn't he done so before to keep Artemis from his evil schemes in the first place?
If Artemis is a genius, then why hasn't he tested out of school? He could be doing college level work instead of being forced to spend time in a learning environment beneath him and perhaps spend time with people his own age in some other capacity?

This one was good!! Reads like Ocean’s Eleven for kids. Artemis is a great almost-villain that you cant help but root for.
This one was fun! Nice to see someone give Artemis a run for his money. And curious to see how this changes things with that ending.

Another excellent book written by Colfer for his series. In this book he only adds on to the motifs and witty/childish humor that can be seen in the previous two books. Also for the first time in the series, Artemis is outsmarted and his faults begin to show, which is what actually sets off the chain of events that he and LEP must deal with. If you've read and liked the books so far, there's no reason to not continue on with the series.

Reread but I love how charming this book is and it's great heist plotline while still deepening the characters from the first 2 books ♡
these books are good for easy reads and it helps that i think they're really interesting.
