Book Reviews of Inkdeath (Inkheart Trilogy)
Book Review: Good end to the trilogy
Summary: 5 Stars
At first I was surprised and shocked by the change in Meggie's feelings for Farid. After finishing the entire novel, however, I can say that Funke did an excellent job with this last novel in the trilogy. I wasn't able to predict how the plot would flow as I am in so many other books, and that made me want to keep reading it.Book Review: Good, but not spectacular
Summary: 3 Stars
I was highly anticipating the release of Inkdeath for months and months, and was hoping that it would conclude the trilogy with as much style and flair as Inkheart began the story and Inkspell continued it. In some regards I was disappointed, but in others was satisfied.
Overall the book is much darker than Inkheart or Inkspell, and I found the middle rather dragging. However, the darkness works with the story and makes sense. After all, the book is called Inkdeath. Cornelia Funke's husband died while she was in the process of writing it, and I'm sure that influenced the tone to some degree. The quality of writing is the same, though, magnificent as always.
I was disappointed in some characters, as almost all of them had changed to some degree, but in some the change made sense.
If you have been loyal to the trilogy definitely read this book, but come into it with small expectations and you'll be happier when you finish it.
Book Review: Great Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
Keeps you in the book with a strong desire to keep reading to the last page.Book Review: Great and Fitting Ending
Summary: 5 Stars
There is nothing so gratifying as closing the last page of a series, and having it be as enriching, enchanting, and delightful as the first. Cornelia Funke has outdone herself with the conclusion of the trilogy, adding new wonders to an already glorious world. The thing that makes this series stand out from the glut of novels like this, is it's wide appeal to people of all ages, much like the boy wizard series.Book Review: Great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought Inkdeath was a well-thought out and exciting conclusion to the Inkheart Trilogy. I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it as much as Inkheart because Inkspell was a little slow for me, but I liked it better than even Inkheart. It was easy to identify with and become attached to the characters, the scenes were well-written and vivid in their description, and the story line flowed smoothly. Great book!
