Summary: Thirteen year old Artemis is in need of fairy help! His big plan to increase the Fowl’s finances with stolen fairy technology backfires in a really bad way. Bulter is (mostly) dead and Artemis has to find a way to save him, recover the twice stolen technology and the only way to do it is get fairy help. Their help comes at a very steep price; Artemis and his crew must sacrifice all knowledge of fairies and anything related to fairies that might trigger their memory later.

Why I Started This Book:

I finished listening to book two at three in the morning. The next day I went out to the library as soon as it opened to get the next in the series. I tried to get four at the same time but had to put it on hold as it was unavailable at the time.

Likes:

Foaly, Artemis, and Jon Spiro are all very smart and are presented as thinking individuals. Granted, Spiro has to make mistakes; all bad guys do and he is eventually caught due to increasing surety and arrogance of his position as top dog.
Mulch Diggums returns again! He’s really growing on me, farting and all. I loved his Oscar stealing crime spree, very funny.
The ending. Artemis proves once again just how clever a sucker he really is by outsmarting the fairies once more.

Dislikes:

What happened to Bulter, poor dutiful Butler! I wonder if that’ll get fixed somehow in the next book.
