remember in artemis fowl when the bad guy was like "and who's going to stop me?" and artemis said "my magical fairy friends." and they bad guy laughed and said "well your fairy friends are more than welcome to try"

which was great because magical creatures need permission to enter a human dwelling and artemis was wearing a wire so all his faerie friends could hear

@monorail no, but now I'm thinking I should reread artemis fowl now that I know about fae
@BestGirlGrace @monorail Yeah, this suddenly sounds quite interesting.

@Austin_Dern @monorail Young Grace really liked them, and I think I'd dig them even more now

rich boy genius (whatever) has adventures with a high-tech faerie society (yeehaw)

@BestGirlGrace @monorail I was outside their target audience when the books came out, so never really paid attention, but now this is sounding appealing.

... Though I have to admit I'm imagining this as a Harvey Comics product of the mid-70s and thinking how impossibly perfect that would have been for me then.

@Austin_Dern @monorail if you're willing to wait a year, there's a movie coming out in 2020, but no idea if it's any good

like most paperbacks from 2009, it's pretty cheap if you have time for a novel or audiobook
