This shouldn’t be too much of a problem, because as he’s presenting
his new idea to save the world to his friends – Foaly and Holly – they realize
what’s going on with him and are going to try to fix him. The only problem?
There’s another plan going on that Artemis and the gang get caught up in, and
his Atlantis Complex has to take a back seat as they try a figure out who is
behind this plot and what the endgame ultimately is.
It’s not Opal like they all think – thankfully, there’s only
so many times you can use that particular villain without it getting boring.
This time around the villain is a
familiar face, in fact he worked with Opal in book 2 during the goblin
uprising. Yeah, that’s right, the villain in this book is Turnball Root –
Julius Root’s brother. This guy…I wanted to like him, because he was trying to
get out of jail for a good cause, to return to his wife who is desperately in
love. He ruins it though when it’s revealed that Turnball used a compulsion
rune to make her love him. That’s just so wrong.
This book was good – just not as good as the last two have
been. I’ll admit the Atlantis Complex for Artemis was quite comical, especially
when he gets shocked by Holly and his other
personality Orion comes out. I wish there would have been more Orion, he was
the romantic that Artemis never seems to be.
Final Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. The comedy was still present
in this book. The characters were fantastic – especially Juliet’s memory of the
People coming back. The only thing I didn’t like was how easy the characters
seemed to make it out of their sticky situations. How many more times can we get out of this unscathed? A good
question indeed.
