Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox is a wonderful book filled with action and imagination. After reading all the other books in the series, I devoured this one!
The story is basically about Artemis Fowl’s mother (Angeline) becoming very sick and the only known cure is an animal Artemis killed in his past. So they go back in time with the help of a demon warlock (named N1) and Captain Holly Short of the fairy police force called LEPrecon. As they time travel, they come across an old enemy and Artemis’s younger self.
It was quite clever to involve characters from previous books in the story. My favorite character is Mulch the dwarf because it is pretty funny reading that he farted and a gorilla was knocked over. Artemis Fowl, on the other hand, is pure seriousness; usually he will not stop to make a joke or to just talk.
I think it is the best book in the whole series because it’s Artemis vs. Artemis and it shows how much he cares about his family.
