Synopsis: For almost two years, Lord Teddy Bleedham-Drye, the Duke of Scilly, has been plotting revenge against the Fowl Twins, who humiliated him in Book One. Teddy plans to give them exactly what they deserve: permanent death. 

 

He threatens Myles with his weaponized jet and Beckett and Specialist Lazuli succeed in disarming the aircraft and causing an accident that kills the duke. But does it really? 

 

Review: For the most part I did think that the book was good. It was high action and it would be great for kids who loved the Artemis series. The book had some great character development and fun writing. I also enjoyed the creativity of the book and the juxtaposing of science and magic. 

 

However, I had so many issues with the world building and how things weren’t very well explained, especially considering this is the last book from what I’ve heard. The magic was kind of off-the-wall and chaotic. The plot also is kinda everywhere. 

 

Verdict: It’s ok.
