Inkspell

Book: Inkspell
Author: Cornelia Funke
Genre: Fiction, fantasy
Reviewer: Carl

This book is the second of a trilogy. The first book is Inkheart. The story continues with a girl named Meggie and her father who was known as Silver Tongue. He and his daughter both have a special talent that can be dangerous. They can read a book or story and make characters from the book come to life in their world or accidentally transfer someone from their world into the book. The “writer” of the books, Fenoglio, lives in one of the books … he got read into the book. Something tragic happened to Meggie’s mom in Inkheart … Silver Tongue had read her into “Inkheart”. On her journey to the “Inkworld” she lost her voice. In Inkspell she gets read out of the book.

Since Fenoglio has not written another sequel yet, the world is going into chaos. Things that should not happen are happening. More and more people are getting hurt. There is another man, Orpheus, has the same talent at Meggie and her dad. Only he uses his “gift” for evil and trying to gain money and power.

I would recommend this book because the author made up a whole new world. You can feel the characters’ emotions in the book. It is a great fantasy to think of being able to read people in and out of books. You don’t realize how that will change your world or the world that a person gets sent to. The last of the trilogy, Inkdeath, was just released and I can’t wait to read it.
