>book 1

>pretty interesting anti-hero book, some nice lore building and entertaining story

>book 2

>not too bad, but the muh father shit was really annoying at times, though I appreciate wrapping up that plotline as quickly as possible instead of dragging it out over several books, also Opal Koboi is kind of entertaining as a villainess

>book 3

>probably the best of the bunch, even if Butler aging by around a decade to save his life was completely pointless and does not affect his character whatsoever in the future books

>book 4

>kills off one of the best characters in the series, Opal Koboi is back again, and is probably the last entertaining book in the series that does not go full retard

>book 5

>goes full retard with demon shit, also more unnecessary aging of characters towards the end, and some really dumb antagonists

>book 6

>possibly even more retarded than book 5, antagonists are full-on strawmen so Eoin Colfer can spend half the book forcing his hippie environmentalist leanings on you, also it has a 14-15 year-old boy make out with a 100 year-old elven dyke just in case you didn't get that the author was basically writing fanfiction at this point

>book 7

>continues the series' progression towards full retard storytelling, villain is a whiny tool, the only saving grace were the occasional moments of Artemis having a split-personality as a wannabe Don Quixote/Casanova fusion and hitting on Holly which still doesn't negate the general stupidity

>book 8

>I don't even know what the fuck was happening here, it seems like the author just threw all logic out the window and made up shit as he went along, this shit is worse than Deathly Hallows, which is fucking saying something

What happened? It started off so good, and then took a sudden nosedive, kinda like Harry Potter did with Order of the Phoenix. Except with HP, the reasons are kinda obvious, with AF, not so much.

but you can probably put the blame on publishers. why selling a book or a trilogy when you can sell ten? the author's ego does the rest.

i haven't read neither so, i cannot help

Its been a while, but i always remeber book 5 as my favourite, although i did recognise the shift in atmosphere, i didnt mind too much. Never read book 8, 7 was kinda shit, but it might have been me growing older

Ideas lose steam if they're stretched too far.

I loved Artemis Fowl as a kid. I stopped reading at the global warming book, like 6 or 7.

The books never declined in quality, you just get older and slowly realized how bad they were.
