In this installment of the Artemis Fowl series, the theme is emotional development rather than moral. The story has plot twist on plot twist on another plot twist. Starting from Artemis’s mother being sick with a disease whose cure requires a lemur. The specific lemur species became extinct eight years ago, with Artemis being involved with killing the last lemur, or so Artemis thinks he remembers. Using a new friend from the previous service, the demon warlock helps Artemis and Holly go back in time and stop the young Artemis from making the lemur extinct. Right from the start of the time-traveling adventure, it turns out that Artemis’s memory does not serve him right. ( ) Being that I'm not a fan of time travel stories, I didn't enjoy this book as much as I've enjoyed the other books in the series. Artemis has to go back in time to save a silky safaya lemur in order to save his mother from a fairy disease, spellology. Trouble is, 8 years prior, Artemis sold the last lemur to the Extinctionists and now no safaya lemurs exist. So Artemis and friends must face off against the younger version of himself. I get that the author is going for teenage angst (Artemis is 14 even though 8 years have gone by due to other time travel situations in the series) and so the author wants to show all the crazy of teenagerhood, but still not as joyous and fun as the other books in the series were. no reviews | add a review
