The Regrettables are back! Myles, Beckett, and Lazuli are back in the sights of Lord Teddy Bleedham-Drye, Duke of Scilly. Not even death can stop him from trying to get revenge on these boys. Seems to be too much reference by Myles claiming to be smarter than Artemis, etc, but the various references to the Artemis books are great for those who have read the Artemis books and those who will go on to read them. Another fun adventure!

This journey was so emotionally thrilling and so hard to put down. A highly entertaining, action packed and exciting adventure filled with witty and engaging charters, heart racing twists and exciting turns. Great reading from beginning to end.

I want to preface this by saying that I've loved the Artemis Fowl books since I was about 8, saw the covers, and aspired to read 'big kid' books.

When I saw I got approved for this I almost screamed from excitement! However, like many other books the last couple years, this book heavily suffers from being a pandemic book. I have noticed a trend in books written in the pandemic being less cohesive than the books authors have previously published: larger plot holes, characters not acting like themselves, the conflict being confusing etc etc.

Unfortunately, "The Fowl Twins Get What They Deserve" heavily suffers from this. While there were many parts that were as funny or sassy as usual, the book didn't feel finished like the other ones did. I was so excited about the character from the Artemis Fowl series that returns, but her return was a bit lack-luster.

It still held moments of joy and I was still devastated that it (I believe) is the last in the series, but it just doesn't compare with its predecessors.

Oh man do I love Eoin Colfer! I was so glad when the Fowl Twins book came out and am thrilled that more are coming!

I started this series because I loved the Artemis Fowl series. Whenever I read about Miles and Beckett though, the writing style seems to be different. I don’t like the side notes or flashback references, whatever you want to call it. I like the story unfolding about the Fowl twins and their shenanigans with the fairies.

Eoin Colfer is definitely at the top of his writing game. One can almost feel the glee as he crafts each sentence for maximum impact. The series, which looks to end with this volume, is perfect for younger readers: non stop action, a lot of fart jokes, and two fun characters to get behind. Adults can enjoy the sparkling writing and clever bon mots. The entire series has been a quick and easy read, a perfect Summer diversion. I highly recommend the audio version, however, as the narrator is excellent. I both read the book and listened to the audio narration and definitely feel you will get more out of the audio version.

Story: Teddy died...didn't he?? But nothing is ever assured in the Fowl universe as the twins and Lazuli soon discover!

This book neatly ties up the series, bringing closure to the Teddy storyline while also closing loose ends such as Lazuli's parentage. Of course, there is always room for more storytelling in the future but I was glad to see a definitive ending of what felt like a carefully plotted storyline. The appeal of this series over Artemis Fowl was that it felt geared to a younger audience. While Myles has some moral ambiguity, certainly he did not have as much of a character arc as Artemis did. Instead, the focus is purely on the action as the twins continually get out of scrapes.

The twins go into supernatural territory this time around and it is glorious with some memorable characters with big personalities. Honestly, just when you think you know where the story will go, it takes a huge left turns and keeps you surprised throughout. I think that is the spark that keeps the Fowl series so enjoyable.

Because this is such a light hearted series, it's one you can enjoy without having to concentrate too much; in other words perfect for an audio narration.

What worked:
The format is very similar to Artemis Fowl books, so fans of that series should readily enjoy this book too. The intelligence of Myles rivals his older brother, and he frequently informs readers that he’s actually the smartest Fowl. His twin brother Beckett is more physically gifted and likes to trust his instincts, so the pair make a formidable team. As in the Artemis Fowl books, the twins work with an officer from the LEP, but she’s off dealing with her own problems and has a less visible role with the Fowls. Her subplot may become more prominent in a future book.
The author consistently puts the twins in impossible situations and lets them escape through ingenious/lucky events. Myles accepts an impossible challenge from ghosts in order to keep his head attached to his body. Most of the time, Myles is able to think through situations and come up with “logical” plans to resolve them. Beckett has an innate ability to quickly calculate angles and time in order to react at just the right moment. Together, they make an amusing pair and add funny banter with other characters.
As the title implies, the major conflict centers on Lord Teddy’s diabolical plans to get revenge against Beckett and especially Myles. Myles admits that Teddy’s plans are truly devious and match what he might have devised himself. Lord Teddy shares needless antagonist banter that allows Myles time to figure out a solution. Adding humor to the scenes, Lord Teddy is aware he’s giving Teddy an opportunity to escape, and the characters make fun of this flawed tradition among bad guys. Their relationship might be compared to classic enemies in old cartoons, like Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd.
What didn’t work as well:
As mentioned above, LEP officer Lazuli spends much of the plot dealing with her separate story. She seems impossibly lost and near death in a totally different part of the world, so it’s challenging to keep her character connected with the twins. The assumption is that she’ll eventually reappear to save the day, but this thought drags on. Rest assured, the characters are reunited, but you’ll need to imagine the circumstances until you read the book.
The final verdict:
The final confrontation between archrivals. The Fowl twins are creative, resourceful, and humorous, and they create a wildly entertaining adventure. This book is the third in the series, but it can be read independently. Readers who have enjoyed Artemis Fowl will surely love The Fowl Twins Get What They Deserve too.

Colfer just keeps giving us what we need, more of the Fowl family! I enjoy the writing style and how it make the story evolve in an magnificent way. Myles and Beckett are again faced off against their foe Lord Teddy and this time Lord Teddy is out for utter revenge. The Fowl Twins Get What They Deserve is another fast paced adventure and I just enjoyed reading.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in return for an honest review.

The Fowl Twins Get What They Deserve by Eion Colfer is a manic book written primarily for young boys who need a lot of motion. It is supremely creative, with plenty of add characters including clones and faeries and such and much, much magic. There is also plenty of science and two twelve-years-olds who have self esteem problems. There is murder and mayhem and lots of shooting, albeit with guns not at all like our own. Myles and Becket are the younger brothers of Artemis and Myles, at least, is in constant competition with his older brother. The have a fairy ambassador/babysitter, Lazuli, who spends an inordinate amount of time chasing after them and rescuing them from themselves, sometimes at peril to herself.

This book is made up of a series of plots, all putting them at risk. This would be an excellent, one-chapter-a-night bedtime story as every chapter has a cliffhanger. Foaly is up to his old tricks, designing new and wonderful equipment for his fairy masters and it is up to Lazuli to test many of them. She is particularly good with testing for resilience and sturdiness. Quite the book for the appropriate audience. Colfer goes above and beyond in creating new and wonderful situations and solutions for his favorite twins. Quite the read!

I was invited to read a free e-ARC of The Fowl Twins Get What They Deserve by Hyperion, through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #netgalley #hyperion #eioncolfer #thefowltwinsgetwhattheydeserve

The Fowl Twins Get What They Deserve is a five star book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The story begins with Myles and Beckett attending a CORPSE event where Myles is the keynote speaker. The event of course is crashed by their nemesis Lord Teddy Bleedham-Drye. The twins thought for sure he was gone forever but they were wrong. Even more so when they really destroy him again but he still shows up after trying to confirm his death. Lord Teddy’s main objective is to rid the world of the horrible Fowl Twins forever. Will Lord Teddy ever claim victory over the twins? Will Myles ever admit he is wrong? Will Beckett be able to help Myles figure out the mysteries found on the Island of St. George? Will LEP Fowl Liaison officer, Specialist Lazuli Heitz ever manage to control the twins actions? All these questions are answered plus a beautiful bounty of twist and turns which make this installment of the Fowl Twins adventures worth the read.

Eoin Colfer has done it again, his books are always a fast paced adventure. Reading Colfer’s books is a nostalgic experience that takes me back to reading Artemis Fowl in the sixth grade. This action packed adventure was an immersive experience. I would recommend this to young readers who are looking for an exciting book.

I can't help feel like this is the last or second to book since at the end it tied very neatly into the very first Artemis Fowl book. It was quite a good read. Very enjoyable. There was a part that I disagreed with, but overall it was a good Fowl story.

Another Fowlscapade

The Fowl Twins and LEP Specialist Lazuli Heitz are back in another fast paced, action-packed adventure. Lord Teddy Bleedham-Drye is back with a vengeance, and Myles Fowl is the target of his fury. Archenemies are hard to get rid of, especially when magic is involved. In an exciting turn, Myles accidently invents his own fairy-magic-superpower, and it causes a domino effect of disaster. Taking charge, Lazuli, with the help of Beckett, work to lead them out of peril. Lazuli, learns a bit more about her magic and Beckett’s instinctive physicality are spectacular as ever, saving all of their lives on multiple occasions. But their luck is running out, and Lord Teddy is not finished with them. Without their normal resources can they solve this mystery before they fall into a deadly trap?

Eoin Colfer guarantees that there are plenty of surprises, including new characters and some old friends from the fairy world. Readers jump right into the action from page one, and culminates into an exciting end. Filled with the same humorous whit, scientific invention, and fascinating anecdotes as the previous two books. Yes, there is also plenty of toilet humor as well, and mentions of vomit. The science in this book may be a bit dubious, but it is a lot of fun. Myles and Beckett Fowl are their same ingenious selves throughout the book, but learn that they don’t always have the answers. Lazuli also has a bit of soul searching about her past, and the value of her own strength. Together they face their fears in order to ruin Lord Teddy’s evil plans. All ending in a hilarious and crazy mess. This is a great middle grade book filled with magic, intelligence, and unexpected adventure.

The final showdown between the Fowl Twins and Teddy Bleedham-Drye is every bit as bizzare, convoluted, and hilarious as I expected. What begins with a pathology confetence continues along its morbid route as the Fowl Twins deal with otherworldly forces, a perhaps-not-dead duke, and a variety of magical mishaps that just might be the key to the whole adventure. Ghosts, ectoplasm, cloning, possession, and even a creepy visit to a mortuary are all featured in The Fowl Twins Get What They Deserve by Eoin Colfer. Along with shennanigans, bodily functions, criminal monologues, and many very (purposefully) forced acronyms.

Once again we have Myles acting as Artemis 2.0, determined to outdo his older brother in every way, while Beckett brings instinct and a complete lack of filter to the fray. I wish I had counted the number of times Myles mades a snide comment about Artemis because there are many and they are all tinged with Myles's desire to outdo and therefore impress Artemis. Not that he would admit it.

I liked that Myles's and Beckett's roles get a bit complicated as the story unfolds. They both have to deal with things way outside their comfort zones - and for once there are some actual consequences (although not many). While this book is generally light and filled with deliberately cheesy and punny humour, there were some real moments, particularly with Beckett, that showed the characters growing and dealing with their emotions.

Lazuli gets a bit sidelined for a large part of the story, but with her we get to catch up with one of my favourite under-utilized characters from the original series. There are quite a few Artemis Fowl call-backs, and I particularly loved the epilogue.

I tremendously enjoy the narrative style, as if a dramatic omniscient narrator were regaling me with a series of unlikely events with a fair amount of relish. There are tangents, dramatic foreshadowing, play-by-play breakdowns, and some rather explosive escapes. These are not books that prioritize things like logic or physics, but they're such fun.

I did think some details contradicted the canon from the original series or just didn't make sense with it. But I loved a lot of the new character additions. I also liked that this book really is about family, loyalty, and consequences.

Told with dramatic relish, this book hurtles along through a very death-themed plot with unwavering devotion to twists, turns, monologuing, humour, and action.

Rating: 4 stars

What a wild, delightful ride this book was! Eoin Colfer has done it again - created an exciting, crazy, twisting and turning adventure for the Fowl Twins and their fairy friend Specialist Heitz.

I love these characters even more in this book, and the plot of their nemesis is even more outlandish and nefarious than ever before. For anyone who loved the first two books, this latest installment is a must-read!

It’s rare to find an author who writes a second series that is just as entertaining and lives up to the reputation of the first, but Eoin Colfer manages it perfectly! The way he weaves words together to craft a masterful tale is as magical as the fairies he writes about!

I received a complimentary eARC of this book from the publisher through Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

Myles and Becket Fowl are back in their next adventure with the fairy Lazuli. The nemesis Lord Teddy Bleedham-Drye has returned with a nefarious plot, fake his death and conduct a surprise attack. Meanwhile, Lazuli searches for her long-lost mother. The Fowl twins must overcome clones, seaweed goblins, and unexpected magical emergences to finally defeat Lord Teddy. The ending includes a happy surprise.

I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and were not affected by the free copy.

The Fowl twins are at it again! And this time, their adventures are only mostly Myles's fault! Lord Teddy has been plotting his revenge for nearly two years, and he's finally ready to give them their just reward-death.

These books will never live up to the Artemis Fowl series, at least in my opinion. Myles is is a giant jerk, Beckett reads younger than he is (though I love him), and Lazuli, while being great, isn't Holly. Nevertheless, they are still a delightful addition to the Fowl family tales.

Sadly, I think this ended up being my least favorite of the trilogy thus far. The blurb has this line it it: "Ghosts, clones, and fairy magic come to play in this ultimate and ridiculous showdown between the twins and their worst enemy." Well, I can tell you that it is 100% right-it is absolutely ridiculous. For a fantasy book, it went just a little too far into fantastical for me, which is really saying something. Myles finally comes into his brand of magic in an insane, almost unbelievable way, and then it isn't really mentioned again. There is no resolution to those powers. I'm sure it will come up in the next book, but it just left me wanting more explanation.

However, that ending made up for a lot. Specialist Lazuli finally gets what she's been wanting her whole life. I'm very sad that we didn't get to see the resolution, but I look forward to seeing it in the next book.

Another great Fowl Twins books. I have to say I enjoy them more than I enjoy the original Artemis Fowl books. Eoin Colfer seems to have really found the balance between comedy, mystery, fantasy and science. It's a great midlevel reader that any modern fantasy reader could love. Read some out loud to my 9 year old daughter and she loved it. I will have to start her with the first books, there is some background knowledge that it's helpful to know before reading this one.

Another fantastic adventure from a well-known author. These books absolutely belong in reader’s hands, and this new entry is no exception.

Five stars for another all-out action adventure with high-voltage humor for the master of children's authors, Eoin Colfer. While I'm historically a huge fan of Airman (and boaster that it's the best book to have ever been written for bright children), I respectfully nod to the all out amazingly splendid "Fowlishness" of The Fowl Twins Get What They Deserve. It is slated for my guided reading program this year for its imagination, action, adventure, and humor. And, it's a series, which means that my students will want to read each and every one!
