The Fowl Twins by Eoin Colfer
5.0
A nun, a duke, a pixel and a pair of twins walk into a black ops site....
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When a 150-year-old duke tries to bring down a toy troll on the Fowl's compound on Dalkey island, three things happen: Beckett Fowl makes a new friend, Specialist Lazuli Heitz of LEPrecon is plunged into a troll rescue mission, and a commando nun on the hunt for fairies begins a kidnapping that will lead to the (temporary) death of one Fowl and a caper across Europe involving an anarchitecture, a train ride, and more Regrettable incidents than you can live stream.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@eoincolfer brings his trademark humour, dramatic narrative flair, and a plot so ridiculously convoluted that I couldn't help but laugh and enjoy. Myles is Artemis 2.0 while Beckett brings a glee unmatched by even Mulch Diggums. Rollicking fun, with enough smarty-pantsing, smarty-fisting and outrageous criminal-mastetminding to make you laugh with delight even as you sit on the edge of your seat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love the little callbacks to the original series, yet how much more world-building and imagination we get in this novel. I can't wait for the next book to see what's next for Myles, Beckett, Lazuli, Whistle Blower and NANNI. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
