Inkdeath is the final book in the Inkheart Trilogy. I loved the set from the beginning to end. There was humor, saddness, good and evil, violence and tender moments. A fantasy and real world blend that was fun to read.
The book came from UK. Because of that it took a bit longer to get here.Thanks to the seller.
It is every bit as good as the two previous books. If you like books that involve fantasy, intrigue and a battle of wits you will want to read this book. This book is all about the power of words and like the two previous books the author is a master of words which suck you into her universe and will not give you back till you finish the last page.Stayed up half the night to finish this book. Although it says middle-grade fiction if you enjoy a good fantasy book you should read Inkdeath. This series of books is all about the power of words.
This is a most disgusting book. I strongly urge all who are considering purchase of this book to demur. People are often hanged for the most minor or offenses.
That skull is a true representation of the dark nature of this vile piece of literature. All in authority are evil. Every chapter has a picture of a skull, as is shown on the book's cover.
Murders take place constantly and people are viciously abused. It is filled with villains, who use much of their time killing and punishing people. This includes the very young, barely out of childhood.
The number of villains is so great there does not seem enough space in the book to allow each of them do their share of vile actions. It is a totally disgusting and vile book that does not desire to be put on any book shelf.
If there was one thing I did not like about the "Inkheart" series it is the fact that I read each book so far apart from the previous one. Meggie desperately tries to find a way to fix what has gone wrong with the story, but Fengolio has lost his way with words and cannot write anything. The beautiful thing about Funke's writing is that it pays homage to the wonderful children's literature that has come before it and draws upon a wide array of fairy tale and fantasy elements. While "Inkdeath" has a lot of territory to cover in terms of backstory, which initially slows it down, it is a fantastical and fitting end to an incredible adventure.Picking up where "Inkspell" left off, Meggie and her family are living within the magical fictional world of the novel Inkheart. However, "Inkdeath" is a fitting conclusion for the fantastical events begun in "Inkheart". But all is not well within its pages, as her father Mo has fully assumed the identity of the Bluejay (a Robin Hood like character) which makes him the target of the Adderhead. By the time I got to read "Inkdeath," the final book in the trilogy, it was hard to remember all the pertinent events from the previous two novels, and knowledge of those events is necessary in this series. And would it even work if he could, for Meggie and Mo are uncertain what is real and what is an illusion inside this world made of words."Inkdeath" seems much more grown up than the previous two works as Funke grapples with some serious issues, questioning just how much we can control our own fate.
For even though Mo bound the White Book to make the Adderhead immortal, the book is working as Mo intended it to, not as the Adderhead wishes, and now the king is out for revenge on the man who is slowly killing him. As Mo's life becomes ever more in danger, he places the lives of his friends and families, and indeed all the children of Ombra, at risk as well. At times the plotting seems disjointed and keeping track of the huge cast of characters can be difficult without Funke's A-Z listing at the end of the book. It is a truly unique and magical tale that lives beyond the page.
