In the fifth installment of the Artemis Fowl series, the focus is on the eight fairy species. The eight are demons. When the fairies were losing the war to the humans, rather than retreat underground with the rest of the fairies, the demons cast a spell to send their colony away. The demon warlocks, who are the most magically gifted of all fairies, sent the colony into limbo, moving it into a space-time pocket. The problem is that the spell was incomplete and is deteriorating. Only with the genius mind of Artemis Fowl and the heart of Holly Short can the demons be saved and prevent fairy kind from being exposed to the humans.

This story has many character heart changes and reveals with many plot twists. The way the events unfold make the reader want to know what is happening and why.

I think this is my favourite of the series so far.
It is also the last one I own and I'll finish on this book instead of hunting down the further books. The series has been fun but it's not changing a lot as it progresses. ( )

This was very different than the previous four, after a while I felt like Artemis was a secondary character and his cleverness wasn't the focus of the story. He was still vital in saving everyone each time, it just wasn't the same. ( )

I really enjoy the Artemis Fowl books. Artemis paired with Holly Short have to save the world yet again, albeit this time the world they are saving is that of demon-kind, one of the branches of fairy that broke from the mainstream when the fairies went underground. Hybras, the demon world, was magically moved to Limbo. Now it's tether is breaking by decaying magic. When no.1 imp goes back in time, or forward in time he encounters Holly and company who are there to help. ( )

Artemis y Mayordomo están en el Paseo de Gracia esperando a alguien que no llega a la hora prevista. De repente, de la nada, surge u n demonio que se lleva a Artemis y lo traslada a la Barcelona de Gaudí, justo en el momento en que el arquitecto está contruyendo la casa Milà. Como en el momento de la aparición, Mayordomo estaba tocando a Artemis y llevaba, además, un brazalete de metal que le regaló su hermana, consigue que Artemis vuelva al presente. Pero Artemis, al regresar de su viaje por el tiempo, nota un curioso cam bio en su cuerpo: el dedo índice de su mano izquierda le ha crecido.
Mientras Holly, apartada de los REP por acusarle de la muerte del comandante Root, trabaja con el enano Mulch intentando atrapar l adrones de baja estopa. Sin embargo, todo cambia cuando la va a buscar una antigua instructora suya, Vinyáya, le llama y le explica que tiene una misión: Foaly, el centauro, ella y otro equipo, forman la sección ocho que se dedica a buscar demonios y ella debe col aborar. Según parece, Artemis ha interceptado a un demonio hace muy poco, por lo que Holly tiene que volver a contactar con él para saber cómo logró interceptarlo y, sobre todo, para prever la llegada del próximo (se calcula que llegará a la tierra en seis semanas ).
