Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox
GOD DAMNIT ARTEMIS.
That pretty sums up my feelings about the whole book, as penguinkye will testify. I loved it, obviously. It was a lot like the last one in terms of last-minute wait-what-the-hell-oh-God-no-you-can't-be-serious plot twists (and not too last minute, I mean I could physically see how much more of the book there was to go, but geeze). It is an incredible, fun, fast-paced novel, just like all the others, and the characters...the characters...
GOD DAMNIT ARTEMIS
the characters are, as usual, awesome. I love the Artemis Fowl books because they're well-written (the occasional comma splice, but you get used to it), incredibly funny (including potty humor which, at this point, has become funny because of sheer character connection), and guaranteed to take you for a fun ride. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend going to the library and getting them and reading them. Or, heck, buying them.
Also, I still want to know where Eoin Colfer gets all this time to travel and stuff. rowana, if you ever meet him again, ask him for me, okay? Or...wait...*scurries off to website*
See, I bought The Time Paradox right after it came out. I paid $17.99 for this book. I never buy books wholeprice unless I have a giftcard to (damnit, I did have a giftcard to burn, I just now realize) burn, but I love Artemis Fowl THAT MUCH. A brief listing of my affections for them:
Artemis Fowl is love. Just pure, twelve-year-old genius vs. fairy love.
Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident is CRAZY TIMES IN SIBERIA love. Also Holly is pretty in a black-widow kind of way.
Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code was, for the longest time, the last book, and it is such a satisfying last book too, which says a lot for it. (Also I got it while waiting for Goblet of Fire to come out.)
Artemis Fowl: Opal Deception was the surprise, the HOMG WHAT NEW BOOK? It is not as good as the previous three, because Eoin Colfer (who is the author, btws) had a bit of trouble with the two different kinds of Artemises he had. I have only read it once (versus multiple times on all the others).
Artemis Fowl: Lost Colony is HOMG SUPERFANTASTIC OMG LOVE. I was a bit wary of getting it after the disappointment of Opal Deception, but in this one, Artemis is back in all his glory. I LOVE this novel.
Which leads me to Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox
Okay, so I reviewed the basic stuff in the beginning, and NOW I AM GOING TO FANGIRL. Actually I'm not even sure anyone on my f-list even reads the Artemis Fowl books, but none of my RL friend-fans have finished it, and so...yeah.
First off, no, I have not decoded the bottom. Maybe I will do that today.
Secondly...
WHY. WHY CAN'T ANY OF MY SHIPS GET A GODDAMN HAPPY ENDING. I DIDN'T EVEN SHIP HOLLY/ARTEMIS FOR THE ANGST. I SHIPPED IT FOR THE FACT THAT IT IS PURE LOVE.
Honestly! I've been shipping since, well, ever, but especially since Eternity Code. And Lost Colony! OMG LOST COLONY in terms of pure shipping is pure love! And that was just an unexpected bonus on top of the how amazingly good the book was. Like srsly. THEY SWITCHED EYEBALLS. THEY SHARED BRAINS. HOMG.
And then...and then...
GOD DAMNIT ARTEMIS. WHY DO I LOVE YOU BUT HATE YOU TOO.
which is probably what Holly is thinking. Except now she's not a crazy little teenager anymore, she's all grown-up and able to control any passing attraction she might have for him EVEN THOUGH CLEARLY THERE IS NO ONE ELSE ON OR UNDER THE EARTH FOR HIM. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. *sobs into a pillow*
...*squeals*
*sobs into pillow*
I'm so torn! Because on the one hand, I got the post-healing kiss Zutara never had, but on the other hand, IN ANOTHER TIME, SHE SAID, AND KISSED HIM ON THE CHEEK. I mean, another time. That could be, like, two years, right? I mean aside from the part where...
and poor Artemis, not even realizing the depths of his folly until it was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too late, oh the poor boy.
okay clearly I am unable to be further coherent, so I will end this and go back to writing fanfiction to soothe my poor fan-weary soul.
Seriously, though. I lost track of NWN thanks to Zutara, and now I'm losing track of Zutara beneath the love that is Artemis Fowl. NEVER MIND OURAN. I'm with rashaka: this month has waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many fandom things going on to properly digest them all. *cries*
