Book Reviews of Inkspell (Inkheart Trilogy)
Book Review: Review from One Book At A Time onebooktime.blogspot.com
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to admit that I didn't jump out and read this because I didn't think Inkheart was all that great. But, I wanted to know how the story ended. So, I finally picked this one up. I'm very glad that I did. The story was much richer than the first book. It was written better with the characters coming to life more. Maybe it's because we finally get a look at the world that everybody was willing to go to such lengths for. It's almost like the author was able to write about a fantasy world better than the real one. I found the danger more real and the bad guys gave off more of that evil persona. I was just overall more impressed with this one. Believe me, I will be picking up the last in the series soon!
Book Review: Review just like the others!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is around 600 pages, and I have to say it's not AS good as the first. It took a while to go through it, and it has taken my brother a while as well. It's just not as interesting as the first one, but there are still good parts in it. Dustfinger manages to get someone to read him back into the InkWorld, leaving behind Farid (it was the reader's doing-Dustfinger was someone upset that Farid was left behind). Farid goes to Meggie, who lives with her great aunt with her mom, dad, and the old reader from InkHeart. Farid gets her to read them both (she insisted on that part) into InkWorld, where everything is falling to pieces, and the story is practically writing itself now, for evil is starting to rule everyone. Farid, as some of you may know, has a soft spot for Meggie in the first book. Meggie finds herself liking him in this book, and they share a few kisses (yes, even though she is only 13...). They are beautiful kisses (you know, the author describes them in that 'dreamy' way), but shouldn't be done at their age, especially if they don't know if they are going to be together forever. Anyways, if you get this book, prepare to spend a little while on it...X)Book Review: She did it AGAIN!
Summary: 5 Stars
Cornelia Funke did it again! Inkspell is a wonderful addition to the Ink series. I believe I will be saddened when it is over. Mo and Meggie embark on more adventures together and keep us glued to their travels. It was great to catch up with Dustfinger and Farid in the Ink world. This novel takes you into the Ink world where so much of the bad came from in Inkheart. As you come to see what a beautiful world Fenoglio created you are drawn into the magic of how Resa, Dustfinger and Fenoglio desire to be in this mystical world. Again for those with students needing AR points here it is. A book parents can enjoy their students reading and racking up those points! Enjoy!Book Review: Superb Series
Summary: 5 Stars
As a busy adult, I value my reading time. This series (Inkheart, Inkspell, Inkdeath) was worth every minute I invested in reading. The books were well written so they flowed easily. The stories had enough mystery to keep me engaged throughout. The connection from book to book was seamless. The characters were believable. I recommend this series to all readers, young and not so, as it was quite enjoyable! (You might want to have all three books available at the start!)Book Review: This one takes place almost entirely in the fantasy world
Summary: 4 Stars
After reviewing Inkheart it's only right for me to tell everyone about the next book in the series, Inkspell.
Where that story took place mostly in the real-world, this one takes place almost entirely in the fantasy one.
Story overview:
A year after the happenings of Inkheart, Meggie can't help but to think of the magical world she only had a small glimpse of.
Farid convinces Meggie that going to the ink world is the best thing for them both to do, and so, with a voice perhaps even greater than her father's, Meggie reads them there. By one way or another, Dustfinger, Basta, Mortola, Mortimer (Mo), and Resa all find themselves in this fantasy world.
If they thought Capricorn was bad, then that's only because they had yet to meet the dreaded Adderhead; tyrant of the ink world.
Among the people from the real-world is Fenoglio, the author of Inkheart, who finds that he is less in control than he would like, and so he vows to put an end to the Adderhead. With Meggie's voice and Fenoglio's words, they try to put things right, only to find that perhaps their attempts simply make matters worse.
My thoughts:
I liked this book better than Inkheart, and I did really like Inkheart. There are a few places where I found the story dragged on, but I wasn't disappointed by trudging through them.
