tralfaz21xx reviewed The Opal Deception by Eoin Colfer
None
5 stars
Definitely one of my favorite Artemis Fowl books, along with The Lost Colony [Book #5]. At this stage, you have a good feel for the characters and their relationship with each other, so Colfer manages to weave a richer story out of the base he left with the first three books [of course, they're great too].
Eoin Colfer still does a great job of slyly and concisely introducing characters and concepts for newcomers, so no fretting if this is your first Artemis Fowl book. Then again, if you are reading them in order, you're treated to a new depth of character for each of our beloved heroes. In many ways, it's almost like a canonical reboot as we get to see the story of Artemis and the Fairy People play out in ways that are very familiar, but also different.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting a light fantasy read that …

Highly recommended for anyone wanting a light fantasy read that still has a satisfying depth to it.
