Spoiler Free Reread Review
Pretty good, albeit convoluted in places. I like the take on fairies, it’s fresh and more interesting than just having them stuck in some medieval society or something. I also like the differences between the fairy races. I also like the inclusion of their language in an actual visible form. It definitely makes more sense than just being like “they speak whatever and write in runes.” I remember having fun translating it during my first read.
Artemis himself is rather bland. We find out more about him via what others think of him rather than much he actually does, which is not a lot, to be honest. Most of the other characters are much better fleshed out than Artemis.
I vaguely remember really enjoying Juliet when I was younger, but that’s changed. She’s definitely less cool than I remember her being, though I might also be just remembering her in later books.
