Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony (Artemis Fowl, #5)

by Eoin Colfer

★ The Artemis Fowl series is starting to get repetitive (and maybe that partially my fault because I'm binge reading the series). Whenever there's a Fairy crisis, Artemis Fowl gets called in to deal with it, comes up with a plan which usually involves Butler, Holly, Mulch and Foaly and ultimately saves the day.
★ Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony introduces another Fairy species, the demons, who exist in a space outside of time.
★ Colfer has plenty of awesome ideas, especially the ones related to the concept of time, but I don't like how his ideas are executed and I can't put my finger on why that's the case.
★ The characters that kept me interested in Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony.
★ I enjoy witnessing Artemis's character development. He's helping people for the sake of helping them and doesn't expect anything in return. However, it seems as though he might not have fully given up on his old ways when he pretends that he's lost his magic.
★ Butler is still the best bodyguard ever.
★ I love Holly and I was extremely excited about her private investigation business, but in Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony, she's still under the LEP's thumb.
★ Mulch plays an extremely small role in Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony.
★ I like Foaly, I don't love him.
★ Number One is a likeable character. He's an imp who doesn't fit in with the demon world and ends up realising that he's quite powerful.
★ I don't care much for Minerva. Her portrayal as another Artemis Fowl is so forced.
★ The villains also don't seem to be much of a threat.
★ After that ending I'm interested to see how Artemis deals with the fact that he's a big brother to twins in Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox.
