Colonie perdue

This is another fun chapter in the adventures of Artemis Fowl and company. We meet demons (who don't turn out to be all that bad) and save the world again. The story introduces time travel, which is somewhat stitched into the story and doesn't play too big of a part. Our heroes do their best.

There are new characters introduced, and the complexity of the main demon/imp is perhaps the most interesting. I'd continue to recommend this book to readers of the series, and I'd recommend the previous books, as this one benefits from background.

Short review: I am continually impressed with how fresh this series is. Often by book 3 or 4 the plot lines have played out and it just treads time until the final book. This series has renewed itself each book. That being said, something seemed missing in this book. It was an ok book, but it felt a little less full of life and energy. I will keep reading, I have already started book six, but this wasn't my favorite of the series.
