Inkspell : A Book review



Inkspell is a novel by the most inspiring author, Cornelia Funke. A sequel to the fantastic book, Inkheart, Inkspell is like a magnet. It pulls you towards it and puts a whole different world around you instead of taking you into the book (not to discriminate you being the negative pole) The book for young readers is recommended by many a person.
This cliff-hanging story continues from the part where a young girl, Meggie, has got her mother back and she has discovered that she has inhabited the trait of reading people into books. Then Orpheus, another person with this ability reads Dustfinger, a friend of Meggie’s into the Ink world, his homeland. Meggie and Farid (her true love, <3) follow him in there. Meggie is old enough to know that her parents will get worried about her and she is right. Sure enough, Resa and Mo are sent by Orpheus, along with Mortola and Basta, the surviving villains from the first book. Mortola shoots Mo, who hangs onto his life by a thin thread. As Meggie falls in love, she loses Dustfinger, kills Basta and rescues her parents. The story ends with Farid saying determinedly, "I'll bring Dustfinger back. This story will have a happy ending. I swear!"
Want to fight a war? Decipher letters? Fall in love with a book? Learn all about a new world? Just turn the pages of Inkspell and soon you will find yourself reading the last page of Inkdeath as well!
