Not trying to sound cliche, considering Eoin Colfer did review the book positively, but it does have that style reminiscent of Colfer's Artemis Fowl series. Faerie Wars mixed the real world, the faerie realm, and science--yes, science (I'm pretty sure I saw "particle physics" mentioned at least once!)--all in one pretty little salad bowl. And then the dressing that is the plot got poured into the mix. It was funny, it was cute, and it was definitely exciting to read from beginning to end.

I'm only sorry it's another series. Because clearly a million other things have not been resolved. The change in the characters from the beginning to the end was also a little abrupt, but I was actually glad Pyrgus and Henry both grew some sort of spine at the end (sure, they can't both be like Blue or Mr. Fogarty, but they still needed spines!). Oh, and I do like Beleth, he makes for a hilarious bad guy.
