The Lost Colony by Eoin Colfer
5.0
I'd have given this book four stars
But the ending! Well, it deserves five stars just for the climax.
Artemis Fowl is a boy-genius who enters the hidden world of fairies to wreak havoc...
There are limits to this plot and the middle part of the story seemed like a retelling of book 1. It wasn't bad but felt little repetitive.
But then, the writer brings the climax...
The juxtaposition of science and magic...
The theme is simple, that magic is just another type of energy and it is all science... But actually implementing the theme in a way that we get the flavours of both, science and magic and neither of the two essences is diminished in the process, now that something different. That is the Lost Colony.
