Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony

This is a post that was looong in the making. I started reading this book either last Winter or Fall semester. Me being lazy on the most part for not finishing it earlier. Also I'm reading three book at the same time. O.o I'm going to finish the other two before starting new ones. I promise!

Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony is the fifth installment of the Artemis Fowl series. (I have neglected to write about number 3 and 4. Mainly I forgot to write about books for a while.) Out of the five I've read, I like this one a lot. There is a lot of adventure, magic, and genius going around. I like the introduction to the new magical beings. I also liked how you could see a change between the younger Artemis Fowl and the older on in this book. I could not put down the book when I finally came to the end. There was so much going on and lots of surprises. I'm eagerly hoping to read the sixth one soon, but that will wait until Dracula and On a Pale Horse is finished. ;)

Ten thousand years ago, humans and fairies fought a great battle. When the fairies realized they’d never win, they moved their civilization underground and hid. All the families agreed, except the demons. The demons planned to lift themselves out of time until they were ready to wage war on the humans once more. But the spell went wrong, and they were catapulted into Limbo. Now the spell’s deterioration is accelerating and the demon materializations are erupting. Even the fairy scientists cannot predict the next one. But someone can. Artemis Fowl, teenage criminal mastermind, has solved temporal equations that no human can. So when a confused and frightened demon pops up in a Sicilian theatre, Artemis is there to meet him. Unfortunately, a second mysterious party has also solved the equations and has managed to abduct the demon. Once again, Artemis will pair up with his old comrade Captain Holly Short, to track down the missing demon, before the spell dissolves completely and the lost demon colony returns violently to Earth.
