Not going to lie I read these books as a teen, and have decided to come back to them as a way to break up my current more "acceptably adult" reads. It is such a comfortable, exciting and nostalgic world to jump back into. It might mean my review is a little bias, but if you want cool characters, interesting plot and a well built world I would 100% recommend. It's magical realism with a modern twist. Sarcastic humour only found in Ireland and Northern cities like Liverpool.

was super interested in this series after reading most of the artemis fowl books in 6th grade, i am now a high school graduate and only just now got around to reading this bad boy. fun little YA romp, full of spellcasters using cheesy aliases and irish-isms that took me a second to understand, really grew on me the further in i got. i didn't like stephanie a lot but like,, she's a rude little shit 12 year old, i can't act like it's unrealistic yknow? all in all probably would have been a little better to me were i still a 6th grader but still a worthwhile read, i'll probably keep reading this series once i've worked through more of my backlog

This book was simply a delight to read!
The characters are so well done and unique, but the dialogue is the thing that makes it stand out to me. It's so witty and smart. I found myself laughing aloud many times!
The action is fast-paced, and the plot is intriguing with some twists without getting too complex. It kept me entertained from start to finish, and I can't wait to read the next in the series!

I was not expecting 3 so different genres to work well together but Landy completely changed my mind! Very well written and a great read for people both young and old. The comedy relief is well timed and fits well with the characters and personalities created
