Book Reviews of Inkspell (Inkheart Trilogy)
Book Review: INKSPELL
Summary: 4 Stars
A hypnotizing voice, luring people in and out of books, altering the flow of the story....
This book, Inkspell, is the second book in a series of three, following Inkheart and is previous to Inkdeath. It is a great book (and series) that you need to read. Inkspell will truly leave you spellbound, making you crave more. It takes place in Europe and another world entirely, a world made from an author's pen and ink, a world where some of our cast members have resided previously, where most of our tale will take place....
This is the inkworld, and this is where you will visit, if you open the book and watch the story unravel....
Inkspell is the sequel to Inkheart, in which a man, Mortimer, reads two vile and evil characters along with a mysterious man out of a book, known to us as Inkheart, then, to replace these three people, the man's wife, Resa, is engulfed into the story, lost in a paper world. And after many we follow the tale of his daughter, Meggie, where yet again the mysterious man reappears to warn the man of the vile Capricorn...
And so as the story of Inkheart unravels we head to a happy ending where many questions lay unanswered, which then takes us up to speed with Inkspell where Meggie has read herself, along with her friend from the previous book, Farid, into the inkworld to save Dustfinger, our "mysterious man" mentioned before, from a terrible fate that awaits him in the book. Which, in turn, leads us to many more of our cast members entering the book, where the good will clash with the bad, and where things may never be the same again...
Inkspell is a book mainly for people close to the ages of twelve to about fourteen of course no matter what your age; you're bound to enjoy this book. This book is for people around that age because our protagonist is twelve years old. The genre, however, is fantasy. It's rather obvious why the book is labeled fantasy, considering people in reality don't go around disappearing into a book, physically that is. But I cannot really say that this book is similar to any other fantasy book, even though there is hardly any originality left in this world of ours, I believe that it is a great book.
In the book, I believe the greatest strength is the timing in which the events occur because every moment seems to flawlessly coordinate with the next big event and Cornelia Funke always gives the information you want to know away at the perfect time, even though you may be racking your brain because of a cliff hanger, that still is one of the greatest feats of the book. Also in the book, the characters are described so clearly it is if they could appear at any moment, with such vividly described characters you can really relate to them, too.
In Inkspell, you could relate it to many book series, but the ones I believe are the closest to the Inkheart trilogy are the manga series R.O.D and the Harry Potter series. For the Harry Potter series, the two are related due to a use of mythological creatures. And for the manga R.O.D, they relate because they both involve books deeply and seem to be similar in that way.
In conclusion, Inkspell is a book you shouldn't skip over, it, along with the other two books in the series, are intriguing and will be great for anyone at any age. In my opinion, it is an amazing book every one needs to read.

Yay, I'm being immature with my titles. Anyways. I'm going to be honest and blunt: It's been a while since I read this book, or it least part of the book. Now, I really tried to read it, I swear I did. I tried to stick with it... However, the book wasn't as good as Inkheart.
I really liked Inkheart, it was original, fun, and entertaining to read. I was so excited when I got Inkspell, I could hardly wait to read it...Until I started reading it. I got bored, I've tried to read it a number of times, but I always put it down after the first fifty pages or so. I just can't get enveloped in the story again. I'm not sure why, maybe because my tastes have changed, or maybe because the plot of Inkheart was original, but something that you only hear once and find it exciting before you get bored with it.
I'll update this if I ever manage to plow through the book, but most likely it's going to stay on my book case for a long time.

I really like this story, but was a bit disappointed to see the amount of bad language in the book. While I did enjoy reading it I thought this one was a littler harder to follow with so much going on at the same time. I was disappointed at the end to just be left hanging. It leaves you no choice but to have to read the last book to get any type of closure. Which I had intended to do anyway, still I just don't like to be left hanging. But over all I love the story idea, the characters and the writers style. I'm ready to start Ink Death right now! :)Book Review: Inkheart Review

Well written book that keeps you interested until the end and wanting to read the next book Inkspell. You are wondering what next will happen to Dustfinger and Silvertonque. Good bedtime fantasy book to read to your children over 8 years old.Book Review: Inkheart, by Cornelia Funke
