Review of 'The Reluctant Assassin' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Brilliantly exciting, Colfer's managed to take much of the goodness out of his former writing into this new series without dragging any of his albatrosses along for the ride. I strongly suspect that, had I encountered this book in place of Artemis Fowl all those years ago, it would've had a similar impact. If your any fan of Colfer or seek a teen read with the timeview of Alex Scarrow but the humour and illusion of a master, read this.
