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. ( )

This is the point where the series starts to go downhill. ( )

It was a great addition to the Artemis Fowl series that kept me reading all day long. It took me all of three days to finish reading it. ( )

Han pasado tres años desde las últimas aventuras de Artemis y, ahora, es un chico normal. Hechas las paces con el mundo mágico y convertido en una persona respetable, solo hay algo que le preocupa: la salud de su madre que se deteriora por momentos. Segúin el médico, padece una rarísima enfermedad incurable y le quedan pocos días de vida. Pero Artemis guarda un as en la manga: conserva magia del mundo elemental y está convencido de que puede curar a su madre. Al no ser así, no le quedará otro remedio que pedir ayuda al mundo mágico que le asegura que el antídoto de la enfermedad de su madre está en el cerebro de un animal que el propio Artemis mató ocho años atrás. A Artemis solo le queda una posibilidad: volver ocho años atrás y recuperar el cerebro de ese animal... Lectura recomendada de 9 a 14 años.

An interesting adventure going back in time and meeting yourself. This time, Artemis doesn't have Butler to help him. ( )
