One week after their eleventh birthday, the Fowl twins--scientist Myles, and Beckett, the force of nature--are left in the care of house security (NANNI) for a single night. In that time they befriend a troll who has clawed his way through the earth's crust to the surface. Unfortunately for the troll, he is being chased by a nefarious nobleman and an interrogating nun, who both need the magical creature for their own gain, as well as a fairy-in-training who has been assigned to protect him. The boys and their new troll best friend escape and go on the run. Along the way they get shot at, kidnapped, buried, arrested, threatened, killed (temporarily), and discover that the strongest bond in the world is not the one forged by covalent electrons in adjacent atoms, but the one that exists between a pair of twins.

I didn't love them as characters I felt like each of them felt very flat and they kind of would have worked well as one character but they were almost like a copy of Artemis in two people and I just didn't think it worked

It's one of those things that I didn't enjoy this as much because I was constantly comparing it to the first series, which I have in my heart. The villains in this are a little mustache-twirly. It's just It was good, but not the best.
