Eoin Colfer is a genius.
I seriously love this series and the overall theme of it. Its well written and the comparisons he makes allow you to almost visualize or feel the scene. Artemis is indeed a great character.
But what brought the rise of this thread is actually the fact that I just finished the latest book, "Artemis Fowl The Lost Colony"
I was a bit shocked when Holly was killed, but relieved right after she revived. What really got me wondering was the ending of the book, I didn't quite understand it.
Here I'll type the last bit up:
________
Artemis nodded slowly. A miracle. He lifted his hand. On the palm there was a slight graze from his climb over the quayside stile. Artemis concentrated and five blue sparks of magic leaped from his fingertips and zeroed in on the graze, wiping it out like a cloth wiping dirt. He had more magic left than he had pretended.
"Maybe we can arrange a miracle."
Butler was beyond further amazement. "That's a new trick," he said laconically.
"I picked up a little more than an eye in the time tunnel."
"I see," said Butler." "Just don't do it around the twins."
"Don't worry," said Artemis. "I won't.' Then his brain computed what Butler had actually said.
"What twins?"
Butler punched in the Fowl Manor phone number, smiling. "Maybe time stood still for you, big brother, but it didn't for the rest of us."
Artemis stumbled to the room's only chair and sank into it.
Big brother? he thought, and then...
Twins!

What I understood is that Artemis has two little siblings now?
I'm not too sure, clarification would be godly right now.
