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

Skipped the spoilers, but I read the first three and part of the fourth a while ago before losing track of the series - I should probably go back to it at some point; I remember it being fun. And Artemis! Oh, snarky young geniuses. ♥

Also, re: shipping - I was a bit unsure of the Holly/Artemis pairing mostly because he's so young at the beginning (though age is easy enough to forget or ignore at times - God knows I did it often enough for Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game), but I think he gets older as the series progresses?

yes, you should! They are so good. I started reading them...what, ten-ish years ago? And I still love them.

well, by book six, he's fourteen-almost-fifteen, so yes, he does get older. Plus he's a genius. His hormones might be crazy, but his intellectual and emotional standards are much higher (although his emotional ones are also a little, er, skewed).

...okay okay I've been shipping this ship for over five years now, I'm a little blinded to the things that are wrong with it.

Ha, knowing myself, I'll probably end up liking the ship. It certainly seems preferable to the... random girl that apparently gets introduced later? All I know is that people are screaming canon!Sue all over the place. :P

She's a canon Sue inasmuch as Artemis is--her problem is that she's the SECOND child genius to show up, and is thus less interesting. Really, though, I didn't mind her much at all.
