The Inkworld: Mesmerizing, Deadly, Unforgettable
Maggie and her father (Mo) have a unique gift. They're silvertongues. When they read aloud, things in the book become so entranced by their voices that quite often characters will follow the sound into in the real world. That delight often comes with a price.
Something comes out, something goes in.
That's how Maggie lost her mother, all those years ago, and how Dustfinger was ripped from its pages. Dustfinger spent twenty years in the real world with only a burning desire to go home.
Maggie has her mother back but all she can think of is that inky, wondrous world - of the adventures and mayhem, the beauties and the beasties, and the glory and the magic. She has to find a way in, if only so she can look.
Slowly, one-by-one, the characters find ways to disappear into the heart of the Inkworld - will they ever surface? And if they could, would they even want to?
The sequel didn't entrance me in the same way as the first book. It kind of felt a bit too long and there were parts that dragged.
But, the author did such a good job with the Inkheart that I will read anything involving the Inkworld. I love these characters so much,

It might be nostalgia talking. But I love this trilogy just as much as I did the very first time I read it.
Onto Inkdeath!
So, I love Inkspell more than Inkheart. Mainly because this is the book where we actually get to go into the Inkworld, and it is just as amazing and frightening and colourful as we鈥檇 hope it would be.
Spoilers ahead!!!!!!!
After Orpheus reads Dustfinger into Inkheart but leaves Farid and the martens behind, Farid turns to Meggie to ask if she can reunite them.
Meggie agrees but only if she can tag along for the ride, after all she鈥檚 been dying to see the world her mother lived in for so long.
Not long after their exit, Mortola turns up for her revenge. She uses Orpheus to read herself, Basta, Mo and Resa back into the Inkworld where she promptly shoots Mo in the chest.
Suddenly his life is in danger and only Fenoglio and his words can save him, but at what cost?
Basically everyone is in the Inkworld now apart from Elinor and Darius, who are left suffering as Orpheus destroys her house.
I love the sheer volume of characters we get to meet - plus the vastness of the world. It has a map, therefore I immediately love it.
Full of action and twists this is one of my favourite books which I will return to again and again.

I really wanted to give this book 4 stars. But my conscience got the better of me鈥o 3 stars it is. There were some things in this book that genuinely disturbed me, and I鈥檓 going to point them out..
Before I do, though, I have to tell you, I loved the book over all. But I鈥檓 probably not going to sound like it...
Firstly, there are more language issues with this book. Farid uses the B word twice, and quite a few of the other characters use the D word a lot. The D word was in the first book a bit, but not nearly so much. And the B word is what really disturbed me. It was completely unnecessary, and brings the novel down a peg because of it. (I regard this as more of a children's book because of the age of the main character, this is why it affects my rating)
Secondly, Meggie is only 13 and the entire romance between her and Farid is really annoying. Not so much that they "love" each other, but that they're so young! If Funke wanted it to be a 鈥渞omance,鈥� she ought to have made Meggie at least 16 in this book. Of course I think that鈥檚 still too young, but it鈥檚 better than just 13! I don鈥檛 care how grown up she looks. Also I don't think that just because the girls in the Inkworld get married when they鈥檙e Meggie鈥檚 age means that Meggie would want to get married at 13 or that she should get married at 13. I just really think the whole little romance thing was way overplayed... :/
But here鈥檚 a little on the up side鈥�
I liked the over all story in this one better than the last.
The Wayless Wood makes me think of Sherwood Forest. Actually鈥he entire story kind of has a Robin Hood feel to it. The Bluejay is kind of a copy of Robin Hood. Different? Yes. But it even says that he 鈥渟teals from the rich to give to the poor.鈥� Now is that original? No. But it鈥檚 okay, because Funke manages to make the Bluejay seem less like a copout of Robin, and more intriguing to the story.

After enjoying "Inkheart," the first book in this trilogy, "Inkspell" was a huge disappointment. First, I thought Meggie's character suffered a tremendous loss in her falling in love with Farid. She became less independent and less self-reliant. Their relationship struck me as unbelievable, as well, which angered me to think of kids leaving this book with the idea that relationships work like Meggie's and Farid's. Writers of young adult fiction should be more responsible! Furthermore, I felt the writing dropped in quality; Funke did more telling than showing, and as a result I had a hard time staying present with the characters.
I wonder if she planned to write a trilogy when she began "Inkheart"... "Inkheart" was just richer and more believable. This book, it seems like there are too many threads and she's having a hard time keeping track of them all. I'm hoping the last book will be better.
Finally, I was disturbed by the trials Funke put her characters through. Prison, death threats, kidnappings--the ways the characters handled these, I felt, was unrealistic. I think my opinion would be different if these situations didn't strike so close to home. Why don't any of the characters show symptoms of PTSD? Fighting bad guys just isn't as easy as she made it seem.

Was f眉r eine wunderbare Geschichte! Cornelia Funke entf眉hrt uns ja im zweiten Teil endlich in die Tintenwelt, die ich auf jeder Seite so sehr genossen habe! Endlich erlebt man den bunten Mark mit Spielleuten in Ombra, taucht ein in den Weglosen Wald, der von magischen Gesch枚pfen bev枚lkert ist, riskiert einen Blick hinter die Festung des Speckf眉rsten und entdeckt die silbernen T眉rme der Nachtburg!
Alleine schon die vielen malerischen Namen und Schaupl盲tze, von denen man im ersten Teil schon ein paar erfahren durfte, lassen einen die Tintenwelt mit allen Sinnen entdecken! Eine Welt die dem Mittelalter 盲hnelt, aber von vielen illustren Charakteren bev枚lkert ist: wie den Wolkent盲nzer, den schwarzen Prinzen mit seinem B盲ren, die alte "Nessel" oder den Brandfuchs. Es fehlt aber auch nicht an magischen Wesen wie den Feuerelfen, wo Staubfinger sich den Honig f眉r seine Gabe stiehlt, den Glasm盲nnern, Borkenm盲nnern, Nachtmahren oder den Wei脽en Frauen, die die Sterbenden in den Tod f眉hren.
Erz盲hlt wird abwechselnd aus unserer und der Tintenwelt, aber der Fokus liegt immer mehr in dieser verzauberten Geschichte, die der Feder Fenoglios entsprungen ist. Immer noch versucht er, die Ereignisse nach seinem Willen zu formen, als Sch枚pfer dieser Welt, doch auch er hat seine Grenzen, die der eitle alte Mann nur ungerne zugeben will. So l盲uft nat眉rlich nicht alles rund und es gibt b枚se 脺berraschungen, gef盲hrliche Abenteuer und eine Wechselwirkung der Figuren, die Spannung und immer neue Konflikte erzeugt. Dabei greift alles einwandfrei ineinander und man hat trotz vieler Verstrickungen immer den 脺berblick, den roten Faden, der sich durch die Handlung zieht.
Der Schreibstil hat mich wieder total mitgenommen, die Macht der W枚rter stehen hier nat眉rlich immer im Vordergrund und sie weben hier eine so faszinierende Geschichte mit viel Liebe zum Detail und einer Menge Fantasie!
Die Zitate vor den Kapiteln sind auch wieder perfekt ausgew盲hlt und geben jedes Mal einen kleinen Einblick darauf, wie es weitergeht.
Der Abschluss vom zweiten Teil hat die Spannung nochmal gehoben und es gab eine herzzerrei脽ende Szene, die mich zu Tr盲nen ger眉hrt hat!
Am Ende gibt es auch eine Karte der Tintenwelt und ein ausf眉hrliches Personenverzeichnis der wichtigsten Charaktere.

Rereading the Ink trilogy by Cornelia Funke reminded me that I should reread my old faves more often. I鈥檓 currently toying with the idea of rereading the Hunger Games trilogy next month 鈥� like what? :D
The second instalment, Inkspell, is just as good and captivating as the first one. I love the fact that we finally see the inkworld, as Meggie and Farid decide to embark on their journey to go after Dustfinger. It鈥檚 a world inhabited by fantastical creatures like fairies, glassmen, giants and speaking trees, but also human beings like the Black Prince, Clouddancer and Cosimo, the Fair.
Meggie knows about all of them, since she has read Inkheart countless of times and her mother Resa, much to the dislike of her father Mo, has told her time and time again about the wonders and miracles of the inkworld.
What I appreciate a lot about this series is that, despite it being YA, Meggie is not its protagonist. Sure, she plays an important role, but so do Mo, Resa, Dustfinger, Farid and Fenoglio. This is not your typical tale of a teenager breaking free and saving the world. The Ink trilogy is much more realistic. When Farid and Meggie decide to take matters into their own hands and go to the inkworld on their own, things soon turn to shit and they are dependent on the help of adults like Dustfinger to navigate through the inkworld without accident.
Dustfinger and Mo feel like the main protagonists of this tale, which I like since they rank amongst my favorite characters in this tale. Dustfinger is the personification of 'weltschmerz' and I love the themes of homegoing and what 'heimat' means to him. (Favorite quote: "Zur眉ckkehren 鈥� das war alles, was er erhofft hatte, zehn Jahre lang 鈥� nicht ins Paradies, nur nach Hause.")
However, some of the plot points in this instalment are a little forced. With Capricorn out of the way, Cornelia Funke was in need of a new villain for this second instalment, and it almost seems like the Adderhead came as a second thought. Nonetheless, the plot line surrounding his fear of death and his wish to become immortal was still interesting, and certain passages, like Mo binding the Book of Immortality, had me on the edge of my seat. Another plot point that felt rather cheap to me (and functioned as an artificial setup for more drama in book 3) is the fact that they decide to read Orpheus into the inkworld, so that he can bring Dustfinger back, because Fenoglio is no longer capable of writing. That choice was so unnecessary and stupid since it was clear that Orpheus had his own agenda and would turn on them. Nonetheless, I thought Cornelia's character arc for Fenoglio was great. He started out as this loving granddad and turned into the biggest shithead ever, to me, it felt like she was making fun of authors who take themselves too seriously.
Moreover, I find the character dynamics in that series super interesting. Sure, we have a romantic subplot between Meggie and Farid but it doesn鈥檛 take up much space, and as the reader soon realizes, Farid is much more preoccupied with Dustfinger, whom he has chosen as a father figure, than with his sweetheart. I also enjoyed the jealousy that Meggie feels when she sees Mo with her mother, the two of them having just recently been reunited, but since Meggie grew up without a mother, it is hard for her to treat Resa like she treats Mo.
Overall, Inkspell is a strong addition to this universe, and I鈥檓 glad I finally reread it.

I like that the story got more complex with the second volume. It didn't fall into cliche storylines or plots.
That said, this book felt really *long* to me. And the story felt rather... loose. Like not a lot was happening, given how long I spent listening to it.
I'm willing to admit that a lot of that might have been due to the fact that I was listening to it on Audio. It was 18+ hours long, and while Brendan Fraser did a good job, his reading was a little dramatic for my taste. I prefer a more understated narrator.
I think part of the problem is that pretty much *everyone* in the book is a POV character. Not only does it mean there's a lot more storylines, but if you know what everyone's thinking and doing *all* the time, it pulls a lot of the tension out of the story....
I want to finish the series to see what happens, but honestly, I'm not looking forward to another 19 hour slog through an audiobook, or reading a 600+ page novel just to satisfy my curiosity.

"Staubfinger schloss die Augen und lauschte.
Er war wieder zu Hause."
- Cornelia Funke, "Tintenblut"
In "Tintenblut", dem zweiten Teil der Tintenwelt-Reihe von Cornelia Funke, reisen die Lesenden gemeinsam mit den lieb gewonnenen Figuren aus "Tintenherz" in die Tintenwelt - und genau deshalb mag ich diesen zweiten Band vielleicht sogar noch ein bisschen mehr als den ersten! Es war so, so toll, sich mit Meggies Worten in die Tintenwelt tragen zu lassen, auch endlich an den Abenteuern teilhaben zu k枚nnen, die in "Tintenherz" angedeutet werden und die vielen Wesen kennenzulernen, die diese magische Umgebung bev枚lkern. Zum Inhalt des Romans m枚chte ich nicht viel verraten, da es sich hier um einen Folgeband handelt, viele von euch werden ihn jedoch bereits kennen, denn die B眉cher waren und sind Bestseller - und das v枚llig zurecht. Nur so viel: Meggie, Mo, Resa und ihre Freund*innen m眉ssen sich in der Tintenwelt weit gef盲hrlicheren Situationen stellen, als dies im ersten Band der Fall war, auch die verschiedenen Pers枚nlichkeiten gewinnen mehr an Tiefe und Ambivalenz.
Ich kann nur empfehlen, die Reihe (wieder) zu lesen, ich genie脽e diesen Reread in vollen Z眉gen und finde, dass gerade der zweite Teil perfekt in den bevorstehenden Herbst passt, denn es verf盲rben sich Bl盲tter, die Luft k眉hlt ab und die Stimmung ist f眉r ein Jugendbuch ungew枚hnlich d眉ster. Cornelia Funke versteht es wie keine Zweite, mit Worten umzugehen, fantastische Schaupl盲tze und Charaktere zu schaffen sowie eine hochspannende Geschichte zu kreieren. Eine Reihe, die mich auch als Erwachsene erneut begeistert - ich freue mich auf Band 3!

Cornelia, you need a better editor. Your editor would tell you to figure out which characters are essential and kill off the rest. The difficulty with the book is that it's written for younger kids, but it is too complicated, not all of the storylines are as riveting as the rest, and there are too many complicated emotions for young readers to comprehend or enjoy. The characters are a bit static (and thus predictable), as well. This isn't to say that the emotions aren't realistic, or that the characters don't act true to form, or that the story isn't well-plotted. There's just too much of it to be enjoyable. In other words, it's too Harry Potter-esque to be fabulous.
On the other hand, this book is about 200% better than Inkheart. It doesn't ramble as badly, it has a relatively straight plotline, and the precipitous drops in suspense suffered by Inkheart are nearly invisible in Funke's second effort. The flat relationship between Mo and Resa is balanced by Meggie and Farid, the plot moves along in a confined space and time, and Dustfinger - the real mover and shaker in the plot - finally gets equal time. It's just a shame that you have to read Inkheart to be able to really understand and enjoy Inkspell.

Einfach nur wundervoll. Vor 13 Jahren h盲tte ich es sicher sogar noch mehr geliebt 鉂�
December 5, 2017
Inkspell picks up a year after Inkheart left off. The Folcharts鈥擬o, Resa, and Meggie鈥攁re reunited in Elinor鈥檚 house. They have been joined by Darius鈥攁nother 鈥淪ilver-tongue鈥� who can read things out of books but isn鈥檛 nearly as good as Mo鈥攁nd a number of fantastical creatures who escaped from Inkheart, the book that Mo read aloud from thirteen years earlier that has dogged his footsteps since.
All should be well, but meanwhile in another part of Italy, Dustfinger has found a sinister Silver-tongue, using the prideful stage name of Orpheus, who reads him back into his story. The fire-breather leaves behind Farid and Gwin the marten, believing that Gwin is predestined to bring about his death in the Inkworld. Farid, devastated at being abandoned by the closest thing he鈥檚 ever known to a father, turns his steps towards Elinor鈥檚 house鈥�
鈥eanwhile, Meggie is catching up on all the angst and anger she never directed at her secret-keeping father all these years. She鈥檚 also rapidly sprouting from a scrawny little girl into a pretty young woman, and when Farid shows up he NOTICES.
Farid wants to follow Dustfinger. Meggie wants to test her Silver-tongue powers. Unlike her father, the girl has a gift for storytelling, too. First she writes herself and the boy into the story, then she reads them in.
Mo is horrified when he figures out what his daughter has done鈥攁nd has only himself to blame, as usual, since this all could have been cleared up with a conversation. Soon the Magpie, mother of the late Capricorn, shows up at the bookish house, accompanied by Orpheus, who proceeds to read her and Mo into the book鈥擱esa refuses to let go of her husband鈥檚 hand and is dragged back to the world where she spent years as a foreigner.
In the Inkworld鈥攁 Renaissance faire fever dream of Boccaccio鈥檚 Italy and Chaucer鈥檚 England鈥擠ustfinger reunites awkwardly with his wife, Roxane, who has believed him dead for years and reluctantly remarried in his absence (luckily for him, her second husband has also died). She is immediately suspicious of Farid, believing him to be Dustfinger鈥檚 son by a woman of our world. Farid fears being separated permanently from his pseudo-father and returns her suspicion with outright hostility.
Also, Fenoglio is somehow pottering about in his own book, both delighted to the point of megalomania and hubris at seeing his creation spring to life, and dismayed that he can鈥檛 stop bad things from happening to his favorite characters.
Casualties include Cosimo, the handsome and chivalrous son of the reigning Prince of Lombrica. Cosimo had an arranged marriage with Violante, the ugly but shrewd daughter of the evil Adderhead, who reigns across the mountains in Argenta. Then Cosimo died. According to Fenoglio鈥檚 story, none of this was supposed to befall the youth. He writes a resurrection for Cosimo, and forces Meggie to read the passage aloud.
And a doppelganger of Cosimo appears鈥攂ut he has no memories of anything the real Cosimo did. He shows no interest in his little son with Violante, forbids the poor woman from entering his chambers, and calls upon Brianna, the beautiful and headstrong teenage daughter of Dustfinger and Roxane, to share his bed in his wife鈥檚 place. The reader never witnesses an interlude between the young royal and his even younger mistress, but their consummated dalliance is the talk of the kingdom.
Meanwhile, the Magpie fatally wounds Moe with her gun (why did she need to read him there if she was only going to shoot him with a weapon from our world?) but he and Resa are found by the Motley Folk鈥攖he class of roving actors, acrobats, jugglers, minstrels, fortune-tellers, and assorted other curiosities that Dustfinger and Roxane belong to. Some of them remember Resa from her time as a slave in Capricorn鈥檚 household. They take Mo in, but believe him to be a charismatic highwayman known as the Bluejay, robbing caravans from Argenta in a one-man war against the Adderhead鈥檚 tyranny.
Little do they know that Fenoglio, who has apparently learned nothing, has made up this Bluejay, circulated the songs about him, and based him on Mo. What could possibly go wrong?
Some of you may think that I waited too long between finishing this meandering doorstopper and reviewing it. I assure you that the span of time makes no difference. This book made no more sense to me when I first closed it than it does now.
While the first book in this series had no plot but zigzagged between locations, this one has no plot, but follows about two hundred sets of characters each in their own location. At no point do the plotlines intersect鈥攐kay, the adults all met up when Roxane arranged for the Barn Owl to tend Mo, and Dustfinger spoke to Resa through the bars of her dungeon cell in total darkness, and Funke implies something weird here, something to the effect of 鈥渟he had fond memories of him visiting her in the dark鈥� which confirms my suspicion from book one that there was something between these two. Is it really adultery when both believe their spouses to be dead? This is a question for the Aeneid, not a middle-grade novel with Shel Silverstein and Roald Dahl quotes in the chapter headings.
Quick summary of everything that actually happened in this book:
1. Orpheus is bad. Really bad.
2. Also, Orpheus tends to sweat and has bad skin, so it鈥檚 funny when Farid, who is fifteen years old, by the way, repeatedly refers to him as 鈥淐heese-face.鈥� Farid, Junie B. Jones just called and she says you sound immature. Grow up, man.
3. Dustfinger is such a horn-dog that Roxane sees a strange kid with him and automatically assumes said kid is his.
4. Mo never tells anyone anything. Mo is an idiot.
5. Also, Mo hates cats. Told you he鈥檚 an idiot.
6. Adultery. Lots of adultery. You know, for kids!
7. Fenoglio is a menace to society and must be stopped at all costs.
8. The two kingdoms don鈥檛 like each other because reasons.
9. No one cares that Cosimo is cheating on Violante because Brianna is hot and Violante has a pockmark on her face. Seriously.
10. Sometimes we check back in with Elinor and Darius for no discernible reason.
11. On page 420, a wild Mr. Tumnus appears鈥nd is never mentioned again. Orpheus just reads him out of his book and he potters around Elinor鈥檚 house looking forlorn. I didn鈥檛 care about Tinkerbell in Inkheart鈥擨 never cared about Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, either. But Tumnus is my smol son. Protect him.
12. Have I mentioned Fenoglio is a menace? Someone, please, stop that man.
13. Mo is slowly turning into the Bluejay whether he likes it or not.
14. Farid and Meggie like each other because teenagers and hormones.
15. Dustfinger is dead! Dead for real!...Sure, Cornelia, I totally believe that you killed off one of two characters in this whole miserable story who had a pulse. And by the time it happens, it鈥檚 too late to care. We鈥檝e been dragged through 635 pages of nothing.
In all this there are two positives. One is the world-building. The setting was richly realized and felt infinite like a good faerieland should - even though this sort of faux-Italian renaissance faire kingdom was clich茅 back when Jo March was sending serials to the Weekly Volcano.
The other bright spot is Roxane, who alone among the dramatis personae is stoic, competent, and able to put the needs of others ahead of her own. It鈥檚 kind of hilarious that she goes to someone called the Barn Owl for help, considering Jennifer Connelly played her in the movie version鈥攊f you get why this is amusing, you remind me of the babe. Connelly so strongly resembles Roxane as described in the book that I wonder if Funke wrote the character with her in mind, the way Mo is patterned on Brendan Frasier.
Roxane鈥檚 perspective for more of the book would have helped, since she was the only person around who occasionally showed symptoms of common sense.
The ending was meant to be a cliffhanger, but upon closing the book my only thought was 鈥渁) my head hurts and b) Who鈥檚 going to get poor Mr. Tumnus back to Narnia?鈥�
All should be well, but meanwhile in another part of Italy, Dustfinger has found a sinister Silver-tongue, using the prideful stage name of Orpheus, who reads him back into his story. The fire-breather leaves behind Farid and Gwin the marten, believing that Gwin is predestined to bring about his death in the Inkworld. Farid, devastated at being abandoned by the closest thing he鈥檚 ever known to a father, turns his steps towards Elinor鈥檚 house鈥�
鈥eanwhile, Meggie is catching up on all the angst and anger she never directed at her secret-keeping father all these years. She鈥檚 also rapidly sprouting from a scrawny little girl into a pretty young woman, and when Farid shows up he NOTICES.
Farid wants to follow Dustfinger. Meggie wants to test her Silver-tongue powers. Unlike her father, the girl has a gift for storytelling, too. First she writes herself and the boy into the story, then she reads them in.
Mo is horrified when he figures out what his daughter has done鈥攁nd has only himself to blame, as usual, since this all could have been cleared up with a conversation. Soon the Magpie, mother of the late Capricorn, shows up at the bookish house, accompanied by Orpheus, who proceeds to read her and Mo into the book鈥擱esa refuses to let go of her husband鈥檚 hand and is dragged back to the world where she spent years as a foreigner.
In the Inkworld鈥攁 Renaissance faire fever dream of Boccaccio鈥檚 Italy and Chaucer鈥檚 England鈥擠ustfinger reunites awkwardly with his wife, Roxane, who has believed him dead for years and reluctantly remarried in his absence (luckily for him, her second husband has also died). She is immediately suspicious of Farid, believing him to be Dustfinger鈥檚 son by a woman of our world. Farid fears being separated permanently from his pseudo-father and returns her suspicion with outright hostility.
Also, Fenoglio is somehow pottering about in his own book, both delighted to the point of megalomania and hubris at seeing his creation spring to life, and dismayed that he can鈥檛 stop bad things from happening to his favorite characters.
Casualties include Cosimo, the handsome and chivalrous son of the reigning Prince of Lombrica. Cosimo had an arranged marriage with Violante, the ugly but shrewd daughter of the evil Adderhead, who reigns across the mountains in Argenta. Then Cosimo died. According to Fenoglio鈥檚 story, none of this was supposed to befall the youth. He writes a resurrection for Cosimo, and forces Meggie to read the passage aloud.
And a doppelganger of Cosimo appears鈥攂ut he has no memories of anything the real Cosimo did. He shows no interest in his little son with Violante, forbids the poor woman from entering his chambers, and calls upon Brianna, the beautiful and headstrong teenage daughter of Dustfinger and Roxane, to share his bed in his wife鈥檚 place.

My heart is still with this trilogy.
I love the characters, how unique they are. I love the old fashioned writing style. I loved the adventures, the romance, the plot and action. To be fair, I did listen to it, and not psychically re-read, but I think I'd feel the same.

In this 2nd volume, Meggie can't let go of the world in Fenoglio's book "Inkheart". Her mother, now safely back with Meggie and her father Mo, has told her of the magical places there.
Dustfinger's plan to find another Silvertongue worked but Orpheus is ... not Mo ... so he reads Dustfinger home but leaves Gwin and Farid (the boy Mo had accidentally read out of "1001 Nights") behind - which results in Farid promptly being captured by Basta, Capricorn's awful second-in-command. After fleeing and warning Meggie and her family, the two kids team up and travel into the book together.
The problem is that Meggie also accidentally reads Gwin back into his story (why that is dangerous, I shall not spoiler).
Meanwhile, Farid's warning was for naught because Capricorn's mother, Mortola, is able to surprise and overpower Mo and the others together with Basta. Orpheus then reads all of them into the world of "Inheart" where Mo gets shot (a souvenir Mortola brought with her from our world). Luckily, after being left for dead, they meet the world's best healer and thus are taken to the Black Prince and his merry gang of robbers.
Moreover, there is a new big bad in the world of "Inkheart": the Natterhead. He wants Mo to bind a special empty book for him that will make him immortal. So he takes Meggie's family hostage which means she has to travel to his castle. There, tragedy strikes, though interestingly only AFTER the final confrontation.
Walking through the Inkworld, seeing Ombra, meeting the bandsmen and the Black Prince, following Dustfinger (who really became sort of the main character, at least for a while) when he speaks with the trees and does all kinds of other wonderful magic ... it all is rather enchanting. I understand why Meggie wanted to go there. *lol*
This, though, also made me cry. The first volume was thrilling, sure, but this was downright tragic what with . There were other terribly emotional moments but that was by far the worst for me.
Once again, the richness of the story is decorated with the author's own gorgeous illustrations which is why I included some from this volume here.
While the first volume always will get props for introducing me to this world, this second volume packed more of a punch for me and I simply adored the world of "Inkheart", the magic, the creatures and people's abilities. The writing style was as beautiful as ever so this one gets full marks from me (despite still not being as good as the books from the author's other series).
P.S.: The English title is wrong. *lol* I can't yet tell if they ran with the error or not but will get back to you on that after I've read all three books with my buddy-reader (I'm reading the German originals, Brad reads the English translations).

There *might* be a slight disconnect between the original tale and the English translation. At least, this is what I am led to understand.
What I love:
The premise. Reading with special imagination can either pull characters out of your favorite book or put you inside it. And compared to the first book, the second doesn't feel quite so lopsided and the plot and character development feel a lot more organic -- growing, even. I really got into the adventure within Inkheart and felt for many of the characters. The emotionally hard parts had some great pathos.
The meh:
Parts of the tale felt too long. It might be a wonderfully long, detailed book for some people who get the full immersion right, but in English, there were certain long passages that were ... not precisely interesting.
Overall, however, this isn't a book that I disliked. Indeed, the premise and many of the characters kept the tale hopping and I only occasionally compared it to other Young Adult novels. (Shared plots, character types, etc.) This one diverged quite nicely in comparison, but I couldn't help but compare Inkspell to Funke's Mirrorworld series. The two series share an awful lot in common, and not for the obvious reasons.
Still enjoying it, however, and will be picking up the third right away.

In Band 2 der Tintenwelt-Trilogie geraten die Protagonisten aus dem ersten Band in die Tintenwelt, wo sie sich allerlei gef盲hrlichen Situationen stellen m眉ssen. Diese Geschichte wird im dritten Band fortgesetzt, da Band 2 voller loser Enden mit einem Cliffhanger endet.
Wie schon in Band 1 hatte ich so meine Schwierigkeiten in die Geschichte hineinzukommen. Hier ist es mir allerdings bis zum Ende des Buches nicht gelungen.
Die Protagonisten blieben f眉r mich blutleer und langweilig und der wichtigste Charakter Meggie erschien mir noch unertr盲glicher als im ersten Band.
Es f盲llt mir schwer meine Abneigung gegen dieses Buch genau festzumachen.
Die Geschichte hat so viele fantasievolle Komponenten. Es gibt Liebe, Kampf, Gefahr und Magie. Die Antagonisten sind wirklich 眉ble Typen. Und dann spielt das Ganze noch in einer Fantasiewelt.
Dennoch stimmt f眉r mich irgendetwas mit dieser Geschichte nicht. Es gibt nur einen einzigen Charakter, den ich ein wenig mochte, n盲mlich Tante Elinor. Alle anderen konnten mich weder positiv noch negativ ber眉hren in dem Sinne, dass sie Emotionen in mir hervorgerufen h盲tten. Es gab auch keine einzige Stelle in dem Buch, an der ich unbedingt wissen wollte, wie es weitergeht. Ich habe selten ein Buch gelesen, bei dem mir der Ausgang der Geschichte so egal war.
Wenn das Buch keine Challenge-Aufgabe f眉r mich gewesen w盲re, h盲tte ich es sicherlich abgebrochen.
Da ich die Tintenwelt-Trilogie als Komplett-Set gekauf habe, werde ich den dritten Band auch noch lesen. Vielleicht erschlie脽t sich mir der Zauber der Tintenwelt dann.
F眉r diesen Band kann ich allerh枚chstens 2 Sterne vergeben.
-------------------------
In volume 2 of the ink world trilogy, the protagonists from the first volume transition into the ink world, where they have to face all sorts of dangerous situations. This story continues in the third volume, as Volume 2 ends with lots of loose ends and a cliffhanger.
As in volume 1, I had my difficulties getting into the story. This time, however, I still kept looking for access at the very end of the book.
The protagonists remained anemic and boring for me and the most important character Meggie seemed even more unbearable to me than in the first volume.
I have a hard time pinpointing my aversion to this book.
The story has so many imaginative components. There is love, struggle, danger and magic. The antagonists are really bad guys. And then the whole thing takes place in a fantasy world.
Still, there is something wrong with this story for me. There's only one character I liked a little, and that's Aunt Elinor. All the others could not touch me positively or negatively in the sense of evoking emotions in me. There was not a single spot in the book where I really wanted to know what would happen next. I have seldom read a book where I cared so little about the outcome of the story.
If the book hadn't been part of a challenge for me, I would certainly have abandoned it.
Since I bought the Ink World Trilogy as a complete set, I will read the third volume as well. Maybe then the magic of the Ink World will open up to me.
For this volume I can only rate with a maximum of 2 stars.

As in volume 1, I had my difficulties getting into the story. This time, however, I still kept looking for access at the very end of the book.
The protagonists remained anemic and boring for me and the most important character Meggie seemed even more unbearable to me than in the first volume.
I have a hard time pinpointing my aversion to this book.
The story has so many imaginative components. There is love, struggle, danger and magic. The antagonists are really bad guys. And then the whole thing takes place in a fantasy world.
Still, there is something wrong with this story for me. There's only one character I liked a little, and that's Aunt Elinor. All the others could not touch me positively or negatively in the sense of evoking emotions in me. There was not a single spot in the book where I really wanted to know what would happen next. I have seldom read a book where I cared so little about the outcome of the story.
If the book hadn't been part of a challenge for me, I would certainly have abandoned it.
Since I bought the Ink World Trilogy as a complete set, I will read the third volume as well. Maybe then the magic of the Ink World will open up to me.
For this volume I can only rate with a maximum of 2 stars.

So I am going to review the first book Inkheart alongside the second Inkspell since they are part of a trilogy. This book is being heralded as a book to fill the void left by Harry Potter and is marketed to the same target age group. The only difference is after reading the second book my immediate thought was, "That was stupid" I honestly can't remember the last time I felt so let down by a book. The characters are so poorly developed that I found myself not caring in the least when something bad happened to them and for that matter I don't really think I could tell you anything descriptive about the characters aside from maybe hair color. I know a lot of people are raving about this series and that is what peaked my interest initially and they are even making a film from the first, but I just don't get it.
The author has made this dream world where words come to life, an interesting concept in itself. However when you take that concept to ridiculous levels where whenever there is a problem they just write themselves some unimaginative way to get out of it, it gets old fast.
I know personally I won't even bother reading the third installment, for me it's too late to save it now and I have much better things on my bookshelf.

Aviso: cierta informaci贸n en la rese帽a puede ser spoiler si no leyeron el libro anterior.
No quise leer la sinopsis de este libro para que no me adelantara nada de lo que pasar铆a (tampoco le铆 la sinopsis del tercero), as铆 que cuando empec茅 el libro fue casi como abrir la caja de Pandora. Y no estoy usando la comparaci贸n refiri茅ndome a las sorpresas (鈥渃aja de Pandora鈥� est谩 siendo mal usada 煤ltimamente), sino que dentro del libro est谩n todos los males 驴Clich茅s? 驴Olvidos, tramas poco consistentes? No, Sangre de tinta es un retrato de todos los males que hay en esas historias que amamos demasiado y queremos que terminen bien. Pero ya desde el principio se nota que, para los protagonistas, todo ir谩 de mal en peor en un mundo muy medieval, que se rige con otras reglas鈥� y los manejos de un autor megal贸mano.
Para evitar spoilers, s贸lo dir茅 que varios personajes queridos vuelven al Mundo de Tinta (o van por primera vez鈥�) a ra铆z de la aparici贸n de villanos conocidos que sobrevivieron a los acontecimientos de Coraz贸n de tinta y un nuevo lector-mago con unas habilidades impresionantes. Eso desencadena una serie de alteraciones en la historia y Meggie, ayudada por otras personas, intentar谩 que las cosas lleguen a buen puerto.
Me encant贸 que se haya complicado. El escenario cambia y eso lo hace m谩s impredecible, al igual de emocionante 驴Qu茅 hay en el Mundo de Tinta? 驴Qui茅n o qui茅nes lo gobiernan? 驴Cu谩les son sus animales, sus especies? 驴C贸mo es su gente? Esas preguntas se contestan a lo largo de la traves铆a de los personajes y se puede ver que, aunque parezca un worldbuilding sencillo, existe la intenci贸n de hacerlo crecer. Es curioso como el libro de la ficci贸n (Coraz贸n de tinta) y el mundo real se retroalimentan. Y tambi茅n da mucha pena ver c贸mo los que quedan de un lado y del otro se a帽oran. As铆 que Sangre de tinta est谩 cargado de emociones, tanto de las buenas como de las malas. Los personajes se involucran en una trama palaciega que empieza a afectarlos m谩s de lo que desear铆an, ya que en ese mundo existen dos pr铆ncipes (o tres, depende de c贸mo lo miremos) que pelean una guerra silenciosa.
Los personajes merecen un p谩rrafo aparte porque sent铆 que se trasformaban todo el tiempo. Ya no son los 鈥渋nocentes鈥� que conocimos en el otro libro: creo que todos han perdido algo y se ven arrastrados en una historia que cambia segundo a segundo y no los deja en paz. Meggie est谩 en la adolescencia y empieza a tener sus inquietudes, Mo no est谩 seguro de que vivir en un libro sea muy bueno, Farid no es de un lado ni del otro, pero le importan personas de ambos鈥� Seg煤n mi opini贸n, el personaje m谩s incre铆ble de este segundo libro es Mo, porque deja de ser un encuadernador apacible y se convierte en algo m谩s (no puedo decir m谩s porque es una de las grandes genialidades de Sangre de tinta). Hay unos cuantos cap铆tulos dedicados al crecimiento de este personaje y son los que m谩s disfrut茅. Por supuesto tengo que nombrar a Dedo Polvoriento, que no para de sorprenderme con su comportamiento adusto pero afectuoso cuando quiere. Todo el tiempo dice que es un cobarde, pero a m铆 no me parece que lo sea.
Cre铆 que este libro se me har铆a m谩s pesado o que le encontrar铆a alguna falla garrafal, de esas que no se salvan con nada y arruina la experiencia de lectura. Y la verdad es que no hubo nada de eso. Funke sigue cont谩ndonos las aventuras de Meggie y compa帽铆a con una fluidez alarmante, de esas que hacen que nos preguntemos 鈥溌縞贸mo se le ocurri贸?鈥� y 鈥溌縞贸mo lo describe tan bien?鈥�. Lo afirmo sin dudar: esta saga infantil- juvenil es una de las mejores que he le铆do en mi vida, porque no resigna calidad (ni calidez) en ninguno de los cap铆tulos. Se pueden inventar mil giros en una historia, agregar personajes geniales, crear un mundo incre铆ble, sacar ochenta spin offs, pero eso no es nada si no se lo acompa帽a con una narraci贸n que guste, con una combinaci贸n de palabras que atrapen y causen, al menos, la sensaci贸n de que la autora tiene talento para contar el cuento. A Funke el talento le sobra.
驴Qu茅 puedo decir en contra? Casi nada. Lo que me sigue molestando es el tiempo que los personajes viven como prisioneros: se pasan todo el libro encerrados en alguna parte y, como en Coraz贸n de tinta eso tambi茅n suced铆a, se me hizo repetitivo. Tambi茅n hay un retraso de los desenlaces porque hay un vaiv茅n de mensajes que tardan demasiado en llegar a destino o no llegan nunca (recordatorio: el Mundo de Tinta se maneja como el medieval). En un momento me exasper贸, hasta que aprend铆 a convivir con ello. No todo puede ser un 茅xito en el primer intento. Me hubiera gustado, tambi茅n, que las mujeres fueran m谩s participativas. Hay una clara intenci贸n de Funke por demostrar que en ese mundo (que, a la vez, fue creado por un hombre) los roles est谩n fuertemente marcados. Uno de los pr铆ncipes, por ejemplo, proh铆be que las mujeres lean. Esto se compensa con Resa, Elinor, Violante y Roxana, que, a pesar de parecerme est谩ticas, tienen una vida interior muy interesante.
Otra cuesti贸n que quiero mencionar (porque la pens茅 mientras le铆a) es la similitud de Cabeza de V铆bora, uno de los malvados de este libro, con Lord Voldemort. Funke usa frases de la saga Harry Potter en los inicios de los cap铆tulos (es decir, los ep铆grafes) as铆 que esa conexi贸n no me parece casual. No es una cr铆tica, sino un detalle para destacar. Es evidente que los libros de Mundo de Tinta fueron hechos por una devoradora de libros, adem谩s de una escritora muy capaz. Y me result贸 incre铆ble c贸mo se trata el tema de la creaci贸n de las historias. Creo que cualquier persona que se considere autora deber铆a leer esta trilog铆a.
El final me hizo llorar, no s贸lo por las consecuencias de la guerra que se desata, sino tambi茅n por la genialidad en la construcci贸n: nada se da en diez p谩ginas, como suele pasar con otros libros. Todo se gesta en la mitad del libro y se va agigantando hasta que toca la p谩gina 657 (s铆, es largo). Y termina, obviamente, con un 鈥済ancho鈥� para seguir inmediatamente con Muerte de tinta, cuyo t铆tulo augura mucho sufrimiento. A modo de resumen, Sangre de tinta no tiene nada que envidiarle a su antecesor y es un salto perfecto hacia la conclusi贸n de la trilog铆a. Y, sinceramente, espero que no sea una conclusi贸n definitiva.

Inkspell - one word, one adventure. With a completely original idea, a great plot, and a fantastic overall fantasy, this story's got it made. I absolutely loved it. Inkheart and Inkspell have become some of my favorite books.
Dustfinger - the clear winner for my favorite character, I have to agree with Orpheus there. He can hide his feelings at will, which is very admirable (just ask Farid). He believes himself to be cowardly, but he will go to great heights for the ones he cares about, such as Farid and Roxane. He truly does have feelings, although you may not be able to tell just from his face.
I loved the ending - it made me want more, made me want to keep on reading. Oddly enough, it reminded me of Star Wars III, when it seemed that all hope was lost and the Dark Side was going to win. The Adderhead is immortal (I see him as the Chancellor in Inkspell), Dustfinger is dead (of which I was so sad!), and Orpheus is in Inkworld acting like a stuck-up egotistical megalomaniac who owns the world.
Hopefully the situation will become better as time goes on...in Inkdeath.

Inkspell was an okay kind of book. It was very long for an audio, even longer than Inkheart and it was also kind of boring until the last 25% of the book.
The gang is basically all back in this book. Mo, Resa, Meggie, Elinor, and Dustfinger. However, there are a few more people added into the mix. A lot of action happens in this book and at one point I feel like I missed so much in one chapter when I got so distracted at work. I had to go back to that said part and it felt like the book was even longer.. and more boring (if that's even possible?). At one point, I stopped caring if I was confused because I assumed at one point everything would make sense to me.
Eventually it did.
Besides the confusion and the action, I loved Meggie in this book. She didn't annoy me as much as she did in the first book - but that's probably because I kept shipping the heck out of her and Farid. They were so cute together.
Other than loving Meggie's character, I despised her dad in this book. Mo was such an idiot! God that man frustrated the HELL out of me. I hated how he wouldn't tell anyone anything! Plus his decisions were just weird and annoyed me.
Remember how I mentioned that I was confused at one point? Yeah, it probably happened more than once but trust me.. it get's confusing. I didn't get the little glimpses into what Elinor or Darius were doing with their lives. It did nothing for me except make this book feel a lot longer than it needed to be.
The villains in this book were good and entertaining but other than that I was mostly bored while listening. I'll probably end up listening to the next book because it's the last one. Usually I would want to dive into the last book because of the cliffhanger.. but yeah, that's not the case for this one.
Overall, it was meh.

Meggi, Mo "et al" continue in the story taking place in two worlds. Not to give spoilers, but Mo is in a bad way Meggi is still "learning" as well as being in a bad way, mom is struggling and worrying and scared, and back to MO....he's binding a very special book.
I liked this YA series, there are good ones and bad ones and (being sure the "youth" is mature enough for the themes) this is a good one.
Again, an addition to my review here...I really like these books, I may even say love them and I'm astounded that so many give it/them negative reviews.
A matter of taste I suppose.

*4,5 猸愶笍 Woah, es war absolut toll in die Welt von Tintenherz einzutauchen 馃槏 Als Kind habe ich das Ganze gar nicht so richtig greifen, beim nochmaligen Lesen viele Jahre sp盲ter aber sehr genossen. Die Welt ist so fantasievoll und erfindet sich immer wieder neu. Einzig die Charaktere haben hier etwas geschw盲chelt, weil die mitunter sehr impulsiv reagieren und sich dadurch nicht ganz so clever anstellen. Und Elinor hat mir gefehlt. Ich will mehr von ihr!

Guys. GUYS. G U Y S. I FINALLY READ THIS!! It's been sat on my shelves, next to my beloved Inkheart for the last s e v e n years and I finally read it. ALL 670 pages, I'm literally stunned.
This is something I never thought I'd read, no matter how much I loved the first book, because I was worried I'd be out of step with it, or feel too old to enjoy it, but THIS BOOK is totally outside of genre and age rating. I really liked getting back into this world with such a great range of characters of all different ages and walks of life. It's the epitome of a good fairy tale story and I'm beyond stoked to have read it.
Now, I better make sure to read Inkdeath before I turn 30.
