Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony
Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony | Eoin Colfer
12 posts | 89 read | 8 to read
Ten thousand years ago, humans and fairies fought a great battle for the magical island of Ireland. When it became clear to the fairy families that they could never win, they decided to move their civilization underground and keep themselves hidden from the humans. All the fairy families agreed on this, except the 8th family, the demons.The demons planned to lift their small island out of time until they had regrouped and were ready to wage war on the humans once more. However the time spell went wrong, and the island of Hybras was catapulted into Limbo, where it has remained for ten thousand years.Now, the tainted time spell is deteriorating and demons are being sucked back into the present space and time. The fairy Council is naturally concerned about this and is monitoring any materializations. When the spells deterioration accelerates, the materializations become unpredictable. Even the fairy scientists cannot figure out where the next demon will pop up.But someone can. Artemis Fowl, teenage criminal mastermind has solved temporal equations that no normal human should be intelligent enough to understand. So when a confused and frightened demon pops up in a Sicilian theatre, Artemis Fowl is there to meet him. Unfortunately, he is not the only one. A second, mysterious party has also solved the temporal equations, and has managed to abduct the demon before Artemis can secure him.This is a disaster for the fairy people, as this demon was no ordinary fairy. He was the last demon warlock, the one who held the key to the survival of the entire demon race.It is up to Artemis and his old comrade, Captain Holly Short, to track down the missing demon and rescue him, before the time spell dissolves completely and the lost demon colony returns violently to Earth.

Minerva-the-genius-girl is exquisitely annoying, the demons are hilarious, Artemis has grown a spine (poor, poor Butler), and Holly—as per usual—is the only one sane.

The action during the finale was a tad confusing (too visual for me), but the ending made up for it. I can‘t wait to read the next volume.

3.75/5

The fifth book in the series didn‘t quite shine as much as the first four. It's still above-average entertainment.

One of the perks of working in a school is the unlimited access to amazing YA books such as these. Also the librarian is teaching me to check out my own books HAHAHAHAHAHA I WILL HAVE THE ULTIMATE POWER😈😈

hes7 This series is one of my favorites! ❤️ 6y
LibrarianRyan @BookBee89 I know. It will be interesting who they cast. Years ago when it was first optioned they were talking Cameron Diaz for Holly and Danny Devito for Mulch. But it's 13-15 years later. I'd really like to someone like Joe Manteligo or aquaman (blanking on real name) play Downey. You know, a big beady guy. 6y
LiteraryinLawrence I know what you mean! I work in a school too and the librarian gives me a heads up when new books come in. 😉 6y
