This was very different than the previous four, after a while I felt like Artemis was a secondary character and his cleverness wasn't the focus of the story. He was still vital in saving everyone each time, it just wasn't the same. ( )

I really enjoy the Artemis Fowl books. Artemis paired with Holly Short have to save the world yet again, albeit this time the world they are saving is that of demon-kind, one of the branches of fairy that broke from the mainstream when the fairies went underground. Hybras, the demon world, was magically moved to Limbo. Now it's tether is breaking by decaying magic. When no.1 imp goes back in time, or forward in time he encounters Holly and company who are there to help. ( )

Crossdimentional temporal adventure of our mastermind is right up my alley!
Gods, I loved it! ( )

Artemis tries to reason with the devil n1, well crafted story, however it skips around critical character development. Colfer deliberately avoid the reader from getting to know more about the characters, to get to the point, perhaps because the author thinks if the reader really cared, they would read past the last book of the artemis fowl series.

Book description
Artemis Fowl, fourteen-year-old criminal mastermind, is doing a good deed for once in his life. He has discovered an impending crisis that threatens the very survival of the fairy world – the time spell that holds a colony of demons on their island of Hybras is unravelling. When Artemis lays plans to capture a demon, however, he encounters another child genius: a twelve-year-old girl by the name of Minerva, with a very rich father and a dangerous, disturbed assassin. Artemis Fowl may finally have met his match . . .


Artemis Fowl scheint sich verrechnet zu haben. Dabei ist eigentlich alles bestens vorbereitet. Er steht mitten im spanischen Barcelona, sein Leibwächter hält ihm aus Sorge vor Scharfschützen den Rücken frei, eine Störanlage soll verhindern, dass die Touristen den Dämonen aus der Unterwelt mit ihren Videos filmen können. Und dann passiert einfach -- nichts! Zunächst zumindest. Denn dann taucht der Dämon unter lautem Heulen auf, materialisiert sich und reißt Artemis mit sich in ein Zeitloch und damit in die Unterwelt.

Glücklicherweise wird der Meisterdieb wieder ausgespuckt, alle Gliedmaßen funktionieren tadellos (auch wenn zwei Finger vertauscht sind). Aber dies ist nur die erste Störung zwischen den Ebenen. Denn die grimmigen Dämonen scheinen ihre Insel Hybras in der Unterwelt verlassen zu wollen. Artemis muss sich einen von ihnen schnappen, um herauszufinden, was die Ordnung zwischen den Welten bedroht. Dabei kommt ihm Minerva Palazzo in die Quere: ein hyperintelligentes Mädchen, das ganz eigene Ziele zu verfolgen scheint und doch bald mit Artemis zusammenarbeitet. Beim Kampf gegen die Dämonen wird Artemis allerdings selbst aus der Bahn geworfen. Wird es ihm gelingen, wieder auf die Erdoberfläche zurückzukehren?
