Highfire

A hell of a lot of fun . . . packed with vivid, authentic-feeling characters driven by distinctive, sassy voices marinated in Cajun spice and a brackish atmosphere. . . Part Pratchett, part Gaiman, part American Pie * SFX * Charming characters, lots of action and ridiculous conversations made this a hugely enjoyable read * The Bookish Gurl * Fun, interesting and entertaining . . . truly an amazing read * KBook Reviews * Brilliant . . . I highly recommend you read Highfire, it's the dragon tale I never knew I needed * Not Another Book Blogger * Highly recommend * Don Jimmy Reviews * A delightfully funny page-turner * Booklist Starred Review * Witty, well-developed characters, action, and fantastic violence from the author of the Artemis Fowl series will appeal to a wide range of readers * Library Journal * Hilarious and suspenseful . . . Highfire is funny, menacing and unlike anything else I've read recently * BookPage Magazine * Having grown up reading the Artemis Fowl books and absolutely loving them, I just had to read Eoin's first adult fantasy book and it did not disappoint! . . . This book is dark, brutal and violent at times, but also filled with hope and finding where you belong. * The Tsundoku Chronicles * Colfer has come up with something new here, a real genre-blending treat, and I applaud him for it * Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones on HIGHFIRE * A twisty, tongue-in-cheek fantasy that's part thriller, part action movie, and wholly irreverent. . . . Colfer's catchy narrative voice suits the characters and their setting perfectly, capturing Vern's world-weary nature, Squib's youthful adaptability, and Hooke's malicious cunning. This no-holds-barred yarn is good fun from start to finish * Publishers Weekly * A fun, unusual contemporary fantasy that doesn't skimp on violence *
