Coming back in Artemis Fowl's world was like coming back home. I've read any book written by Eoin Colfer and I couldn't not read this one about Artemis' twins brothers.
The Fowl Twins is the first book of a new (I hope long) series and I really loved the story. I've read everything written by Colfer, so I'm used to his style and I couldn't wait to laugh and be surprised by plot twists, revelations and amazing moments and I wasn't disappointed.
Myles and Beckett Fowl are fraternal twins and they are like sun and moon, absolutely different from each other. Beckett is a wild child, he likes to not wear clothes, to speak to animals, to annoy his twin, to make fun of him and we don't know his QI and, at first, any of his abilities. Myles resembles a lot his older brother, he's a scientist, he's precise and neat, the opposite of Beckett. Speaking of Artemis II we get to know he's travelling towards Mars in a rocket invented by him with Butler. (I really missed him in his book and every reference and videos will ever be enough XD My genius :D)
The story follows multiple POV: the twins, an ambitious duke, sir Teddy Bleedlam-Drye, a nun, sister Jeronima and Lazuli Heitz, a new member of the LEP, a pixel (elf and pixie) and a small (literally) troll called Whistler-Blower, found by Beckett who thought it was a toy. It's from this accident that the story begins and the twins find themselves into a bigger plot they could ever have imagined, facing peculiar enemies, submitting nuninterogations, getting to know for the first time (since Artemis only read to them about the Fairy world but never said it was real) the Fairy world. (I was really touched while reading "Fowl and fairy, fairy and Fowl friends forever". It made me think how much Artemis changed and grown since the first book. I'm so proud of him).
The story is full of twists, inventions, travels and discoveries. I loved the relationship between Myles and Beckett and how, while reading, we get to know more about their abilities and how I, at first, underestimated Beckett. I love the twins. Their combined forces and talents are absolutely brilliant and it was fun to know Lazuli Heitz and her weird DNA and her abilities as well. I loved seeing again Holly and know she was Lazuli's angel. It was really funny discovering the NANNI (Nano Artificial Neural Network Intelligence), the AI system Artemis deviced, helped by Myles, to protect his brother in their new home, in the Fowl Dalkey Island, had Holly's voice. I liked the villains, above all sir Teddy and his search for immortality and I guess we haven't see the last of him. Same for sister Jeronima and her organization.
This book was met with a lot of nostalgia, because I loved and love the Fowl's and Fairy's world and their adventures. Beckett and Myles are amazing and I think this book is a great start for a new chapter of the Fowl's family.
