Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony is the fifth book in the series, and I personally think that everyone who loves Harry Potter should read these books. Better written and with more intelligent contemplation of elements like magic and technology, this is a series that readers of all ages can enjoy. By book five, we’ve been introduced to a wide and fun cast of characters, and unfortunately had one of our good friends die. There is no over-arcing plot between books, though there are certainly continuin...

Artemis crushes on the girl version of himself. Figures 🤨💘👀

Or perhaps they thought half the books were enough to advertise their ill-fated Disney+ film.- I've mentioned it before, but the American editions have never had consis...

Fifteen or sixteen years ago, I was reading these to, and with my boys. My middle son was the most enrapt with these Artemis Fowl books. He fancied himself as an semi-evil, kid-genius in-the-making, and Artemis was his prototype. Although he has (mostly) given up on the evil part, he has followed the genius(?) part, and in re-reading these, I find myself nostalgic for those days. In this novel, Artemis and Holly explore a new milieu distinct from the Lower Elements. The Lost Colony involves a di...

"I know you. You're that female elf." "I don't like the surface. It's too close to the sun and I have sensitive skin." With Opal Koboi being temporarily put out of action, the author explores a completely new territory with this fifth book. This is the first time Colfer has taken such a significant change in storyline direction, while introducing a load of new characters from an entirely new setting. But it paid off much better than I had expected: the characters, plot, and flow are great ...

Second time around and I'm seriously enjoying the crap out of this series. Maybe it's Butler's sass or Holly and Artemis working so well together. Or Maybe it's Artemis becoming more human and acting like a teenager a bit? Who knows. Just know that I'm enjoying this whole entire thing.Artemis is going through something he can't control: Puberty. It's honestly hilarious to watch him in this book because he's all about being in control. So since he's getting older and his body is changing he reall...

Demons!!!! Not satisfied with superbly original re-imaginings of fairy folk such as dwarves, goblins, trolls, pixies, elves and centaurs, Eoin targets demons in this book. Artemis, with bodyguard Butler always less than a metre way from him, is investigating demons, and as ever this leads to possible world threatening results that sees Artemis, Butler, Holly and Mulch have to team-up again.Artemis has just reached puberty, so sometimes find his thoughts going astray as he realises the competitio...

Done reading THE LOST COLONY - Book 5 in Artemis Fowl Octalogy, entirely read it in Amazon Kindle. Narrated in third-person perspective in 16 chapters, the story revolves around the time-travel adventure of Artemis Fowl. He is in search of a warlock demon who can potentially stop a war between demons and humans. Sadly, I dislike it. One, there are many new characters introduced. While reading, it feels like all these new characters are unnecessarily packed in one book, resulting to topsy-turvy m...

No matter what dimension you're in, there's a big-headed male trying to take over the world. I wasn't expecting this. I was trying too hard to like this book. But I couldn't. I just couldn't! :( ☆3.5 Stars☆ For God Sake, Eoin!!! Change the pattern. I have guessed by now how you will start the book. Of course, after reading the last four books of the series. So I was bored in the beginning except for one thing. There was action and little excitement. Or I also consider the excitement in this ...

Notes: It's about puberty, instability and bodily change, with a rescue plot practically a beat-for-beat mirror of the first book.
