Publisher's summary

Is this Artemis Fowl’s last stand?

Artemis Fowl’s archenemy Opal Koboi has masterminded a way to simultaneously secure her release from prison and bring the human and fairy worlds to their knees. And, unless Artemis can stop her, the evil pixie’s next move will destroy all human life on Earth.

Ground zero is the Fowl Estate, where Opal has reanimated fairy warriors who were buried there thousands of years ago. Their spirits have possessed any vessels they can find - corpses, Artemis’s little brothers, assorted wildlife - and they are bound to obey Opal’s every command. Defeating the motley troops and their diabolical leader will require all of Artemis’s cleverness - as well as Butler’s bravery, Holly’s skill, and Foaly’s gadgetry. But if their best efforts aren’t enough, Armageddon will surely follow.

New York Times best-selling author and comic genius Eoin Colfer will leave Artemis Fowl fans gasping up to the very end of this thrilling finale to the blockbuster series.

I love the whole series of Artemis fowl books, I believe this was an amazing finish to an amazing series. I truly think this is a great series for all young imaginative people and not so young ones for an occasional escape from reality

End of the line

Yes. The Artemis fowl series peaked in book three. But still. I find this to be a fitting ending to the series. Ending as the first book started.

Extreme Page Turner

The book must be finished as soon as it is started. The story is a little odd in the beginning because it really stretched my "myth of believability," meaning the biggest magic scheme was hard for me to believe or understand. There was a descriptive error about a character's appearance from the beginning to the end, however the character did not change. It stood out because the detail was mentioned at least 3 times. It's hard to see the series end. The way these stories are written you could see Artemis branch off into and adult genre book series where he becomes the first human to join the LEP as special ops.

maybe the last book but good just like al the rest

some times they are repeating plots or the same kind of wins, but they always seem to be really good. A good way to end.
