The Arctic Incident by Eoin Colfer
2.0
It was only during the last chapter that I realised what I didn't like about this book.
It's not emotional enough. Everything is told to us, and there is no feeling to what I'm reading. It's very analytical and very cold. Maybe that would have been fine when it was Artemis' POV, but it's like that the whole way through.
But it's not only that.
The whole book was filler. You could have just read the first chapter, skimmed the middle, and read the last chapter and you wouldn't have missed a thing.
*sigh* And I bought the box set too... hopefully as Artemis gets older the story gets more interesting? I feel like I've grown out of this kind of middle-grade fiction.
