I want to read about fairies and such without witchcraft...
Artemis sighed with
exaggerated patience. ‘You are no healer.
You are a sprite, p’shóg, fairy, ka-dalun.
Whichever language you prefer to use.
And I want your book.’
If you are looking for a fast-paced, intellectual fairy adventure and you fall in the age bracket from a precocious ten to a very imaginative 90+, Artemis Fowl is a very good series
to pick up. Trust me you will not want to put it down and
when you have read the last book The Last Guardian you probably would want to start again at the beginning.
Artemis is a twelve-year-old boy. He is in charge of the family’s business and financial stability. He no longer goes to school, although his mother does not know this. His father is
presumed dead and Butler his bodyguard
looks out for the boy although it is a challenge. When Artemis comes up
with a genius plan to capture an elf to trade for fairy gold he becomes mixed
up with a sprite, a fairy book that holds untold secrets, the LEP (Lower Elements Police),
Commander Root, Foaly the technical expert and Mulch Diggums a kleptomaniac Dwarf
and most importantly Captain Holly Short whom he kidnaps.
Artemis is educated
witty and socially awkward as he has no one that is his intellectual equal to
converse with. He finds a friend in
Holly Short as they survive their adventures in the subsequent 7 books.
I can strongly
recommend Artemis Fowl for anyone who loves fantasy. Although the series has its share of
violence, it is not presented in an insensitive
and gory manner. The language used is clean, with only the occasional d’arvit from Holly.
The reading order is
as follows:
Artemis Fowl (2001)
The arctic incident (2002)
The Eternity Code (2003)
The Opal Deception (2005)
The Lost Colony (2006)
The Time Paradox (2008)
The Atlantis Complex(2010)
The Last Guardian (2012)
Happy reading!
