Here his character really gains some depth and his story becomes really gripping. Inkspell also manages to give us a sense of who Dustfinger is. The Inkworld is just a beautiful world filled with the most imaginative creatures and I wouldn’t mind having a glass man for myself. Whereas Inkheart was quite imaginative, here Funke outdoes herself. It’s not all bad though, cause something that was missing from the first book, being the Inkworld itself, is more than present here. “a very long introduction to what will be

Upon finishing Inkspell, I didn’t have any sense of closure and it felt like a very long introduction to what will be the last part in the story. The fact that this book didn’t really went anywhere near a solution also rubbed me the wrong way. After the umpteenth time, I felt like it was just a cheap way to get out of trouble and perhaps they should have read it completely right from the start instead of making things even more difficult. Also, every time they came across trouble, they fixed it in the same way, by reading it right. He was just a shade of Capricorn and even though he was supposed to be bad, I never felt any threat coming from him. To begin with, the villain here wasn’t Capricorn. The magical feeling that the first book exhumed, the novelty of it all, was missing here and I didn’t think the plot was as interesting as in Inkheart.

But that something disappointed me quite a bit. The way Inkheart ended made it pretty clear that something was to come, still. But the story is threatening to evolve in ways neither of them could ever have imagined. Distraught, Farid goes in search of Meggie, and before long, both are caught inside the book, too. When he finds a crooked storyteller with the ability to read him back, Dustfinger leaves behind his young apprentice Farid and plunges into the medieval world of his past. But for Dustfinger, the fire-eater brought into being from words, the need to return to the tale has become desperate. This book, however, did not put its spell on my in any way.Īlthough a year has passed, not a day goes by without Meggie thinking of INKHEART, the book whose characters became real. Seeing as I pretty much liked the first book despite some issues, I was eagerly looking forward to Inkspell. Such was the case with Inkheart and Inkspell, cause there is exactly one year between these books.

This behaviour tends to get out of hand now and then, and other books just keep preventing me from reading on.

I like variety in my reading and thus will not pick up the next book in the series right after I read the previous one. When it comes to reading a trilogy or series back to back, I suck.
