“I never tell anyone exactly how clever I am. They would be too scared.” (Artemis Fowl II)
I love it when a group of unlikely characters come together to pull off a daring mission!
Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code shows that Artemis is a genius. He has a natural affinity for plotting and planning and he's always one step ahead. However, he's a believable character and acts the way I would expect a child prodigy to act. Due to his exposure to the Fairy world and the fact that his father has returned a more honest man, Artemis is starting to become hesitant about his criminal activities. The relationship between Artemis and Butler in Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code shows a different side of Artemis. Artemis Fowl is a true antihero.
Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code focuses more on the characters than the action scenes and I connected with the characters. Bulter's loyalty is unmatched. Holly Short is freaking amazing. Juliet plays a larger role in Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code and I love her personality. Mulch is a hilarious character, but he's still really gross. I love Foaly's inventions and Commander Root's extreme anger makes for some hilarious moments.
The one thing that I don't like in Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code is the villain portrayals. The villains are one-dimensional and stereotypical and the villain henchmen are so stupid and it's painful.
The ending is bittersweet because Artemis hasn't just lost his memories about the People; he has also lost friends and an opportunity to change for the better. I'm excited to see what happens ,i.e. how Artemis is going to get his memories of the People back, in Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception.
