This book was an excellent end to the Artemis Fowl series! The whole thing is full of action and mystery, dire enough that it leaves you biting your nails wondering how on earth Artemis is going to get out of this one! Everything seems hopeless right from the beginning!I absolutely loved the interaction of the characters, but mostly Artemis's thoughts and actions throughout! I was not hugely thrilled with the ending, but only enough to possibly lose a quarter of a star.
