The Opal Deception by Eoin Colfer
5.0
I forgot how much I enjoyed this one! It is comparable to THE ETERNITY CODE, in my opinion, though I think it’s not quite at the same level in my heart of hearts.
Opal is so excellently wicked and I love the building anticipation of our beloved characters coming together again for another adventure after what was supposed to be the last one. There’s a bit more of a sense of foreboding in this book than the others—it really makes you wonder, is it going to turn out alright this time?
There’s one moment when Artemis is in a very desperate spot, and he sees Butler, and he just immediately feels safe. And I just thought that was so beautiful. Maybe not to someone who hasn’t followed their journey through the last three books, but especially after THE ETERNITY CODE, how could you not feel some tears coming on?
THE LOST COLONY is the last book in the series I’ve read, and I remember it being not quite as good as my favorites, but not bad either. We’ll see. But it was such a delight to realize THE OPAL DECEPTION lived up to my favorite book before it.
