Book Reviews of The Lost Colony (Artemis Fowl, Book 5)
Book Review: best yet
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read and own all of the Artemis Fowl books and so far this one is the best. It has the same storyline as most of the Artemis Fowl books except it is enhanced it with as much new characters as Eoin Colfer can pack in without confusing the story. As normal the imagery is crystal sharp and draws you in farther and farther into the story. It uses many literary devices to give the story complexity. An amazing thing that Eoin Colfer is able to do is he is able to introduce completely alien ideas to our minds and makes them make sense. He uses this magnifencently and makes a masterpiece.
Summary of The Lost Colony (Artemis Fowl, Book 5)
Thousands of years ago, fairies and humans fought a great battle for the magical island of Ireland. When it became clear that they could not win, all of the fairies moved belowground-except for the 8th Family, the demons. Rather than surrender, they used a magical time spell to take their colony out of time and into Limbo. There they have lived for decades, preparing to exact their violent revenge on humans.Now the time spell is unraveling, and demons are beginning to materialize without warning on Earth. If humans were to find out about them, all fairies would be exposed. To protect themselves, the fairies must predict when the next demon will materialize. But in order to do so, they will have to decipher temporal equations so complicated; even a great brain like Foaly can't understand them. But he knows someone who can: Artemis Fowl.
So when a very confused demon imp appears in a Sicilian theater, Artemis is there to meet him. But he is not alone. There is someone else who has unlocked the secrets of the fairy world and managed to solve complex mathematical problems as only a genius could. And she is just twelve years old. . .
