YA Quick Reviews- Artemis Fowl #5 and Morganville Vampires #4

Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony (Artemis Fowl, #5) Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony by Eoin Colfer

Another really great book in this series. I love the character arc that Artemis has had throughout the books. He has gone from a ruthless, criminal mastermind to a trustworthy ally of the People. In this installment, Artemis is on the hunt of some time skipping demons that need help. Working with Section 8 of the LEPrecon, Artemis, Holly, Foaly and Mulch are reunited to save the demons. One surprise- another young human genius is trying to get a hold of the demon, and it just so happens to be a very attractive young lady.

Feast of Fools (The Morganville Vampires, #4) Feast of Fools by Rachel Caine

Claire is finally acting a bit more grown up. She is finally using her intelligence, or rather it is being used for the greater good of the vampires. I actually really like this part of the story. Claire graduating from high school early and being sent to a JC instead of Harvard never really made sense to me. So, her smarts being used to help the vamps made up for it. I enjoyed the story, the characters and the pace of Feast of Fools. One little thing I didn't understand... why the need to move Claire's parents to Morganville? Seemed an unneeded addition to the plot. Perhaps it will make more sense in the next book.

  1. I haven't read any of the Artemis Fowl books and I did wonder if they were any good. Do you happen to remember the name of the first one?

  2. I think the first one's simple Artemis Fowl. I've read the first one, and I quite enjoyed it, but I haven't read further in the series yet — I need to do that.

  3. Yup, Artemis Fowl is what the first one is called. I think another is coming out in the series this spring. One more book for me to read to get caught up before then. :)
