![]() ![]() ![]() Moreover, Colfer’s writing is always quirky and eccentric, which works perfectly for a story about a dragon living in the Louisiana swamp, slugging vodka and reclining in his La-Z-Boy. It’s completely outlandish, but that’s what makes it so funny and interesting. ![]() Highfire follows Everett Squib Moreau is a fifteen-year-old boy, living in Louisiana with his mother, trying to get by whose life gets turned upside down when he catches the crooked sheriff in an act of murder, and subsequently meets the last living dragon that happens to love vodka and Flashdance, but also happens to hate people.įirst of all, I really loved the concept of this book. The jury is in - I enjoyed this novel, even though it did not really impress me. When I saw that Eoin Colfer was writing his first Adult Fantasy novel, I was ECSTATIC to get my hands on it, especially when I became aware of the fact that the book is actually about a vodka-drinking, Flashdance-loving dragon. It’s highly inventive and engaging, and I remember reading it because a classmate in elementary school recommended it, so it’s one of the first series I really got super into. I am a huge fan of Colfer’s writing - Artemis Fowl was one of my favorite series growing up and one I was super attached to. ![]()
