Opal Koboi, the power-crazed pixie, is plotting to exterminate humankind and become fairy queen. Artemis Fowl is his story he should have done something unpredictable, thrown out writing conventions. The Fowl's Irish estate is at the center of the action, and Artemis, Holly, and Butler's plans fizzle until Colfer's antihero makes himself sacrificial bait. From New York Times best-selling author, Eoin Colfer, comes book eight in the Artemis Fowl series about a teenage criminal mastermind and his siege against dangerous, tech-savvy fairies. The plot centers around nemesis Opal Koboi's plot to open a gate that will release not only long-buried warrior faeries bent on revenge against the human race but actual Armageddon. Don't worry-there's still all the adventure and snarkiness the series is known for: ingenious gadgets humorous sidekicks, like the perpetually gassy Mulch Diggums and faeries who kick. Mofos just sitting there like 'Where the hell are they, being dead is unpleasant'. The principle characters are all there, and the overall feeling is uncharacteristically touching. All in all, though, Colfer has rounded off this final book about the not-always-likable Artemis Fowl in a way readers will appreciate, right down to the clever last lines. Bringing a long-running series to a close is always tricky-no fan is ever entirely happy after all that buildup.
