Edit 2.6.2021:
Now that I've been able to let this book sink in and have almost finished the second volume of the trilogy, I unfortunately have to revise my original assessment a little.
Apparently I tried to live up to the general reputation of this trilogy in my original review. In retrospect, however, I have to admit that I liked the book a lot less than I had figured out in my wishful thinking.
I found the story really too tenacious and the characters too unapproachable and too little comprehensible to be rated with more than 3 stars.



Edit 2.6.2021:
Nachdem ich dieses Buch nun sacken lassen konnte und den zweiten Band der Trilogie fast beendet habe, muss ich meine ursprüngliche Einschätzung leider etwas revidieren.
Ich habe offenbar versucht, in meiner urspünglichen Rezension, dem allgemeinen Ruf dieser Trilogie gerecht zu werden. Im Nachhinein muss ich allerdings zugeben, dass mir das Buch deutlich weniger gefallen hat, als ich mir das in meinem Wunschdenken zurecht gelegt hatte.
Ich fand die Geschichte wirklich zu zäh und die Charaktere zu wenig nahbar und nachvollziehbar, als dass ich mit mehr als 3 Sternen bewerten könnte.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Ink Heart starts off the Ink World trilogy and is a really nice fantasy novel for children and young teenagers. Although I don't see it in the all-age book category, grown-ups can read it and have fun while doing it. I'm very much grown up now and read the book for the first time and it entertained me pretty well.

The story itself is quite well known, so I won't go into it any further here.

I found the protagonist Meggie's behavior quite annoying at times, but maybe I've already forgotten how annoying 12-year-olds can be.

Linguistically, the book was very nice and the plot was appropriately exciting and proceeded at the right speed.

I am looking forward to the sequel volumes, as I feel that this first volume has a clear ending. But since I bought the trilogy as a set, I will soon find out how Cornelia Funke continues the story.

From my point of view it deserves 4 stars.
---------------------------------------------------
Tintenherz leitet die Tintenherz-Trilogie ein und ist ein wirklich schöner Fantasy-Roman für Kinder bzw. junge Teenager. Obwohl ich es nicht in der Kategorie der All Age-Bücher sehe, kann man es auch als Erwachsener gut lesen und Spaß dabei haben. Ich bin ja nun schon ziemlich erwachsen und habe das Buch erstmals gelesen und es hat mich wirklich gut unterhalten.

Die Geschichte selbst ist ja sehr bekannt und daher gehe ich hier nicht weiter darauf ein.

Ich fand die Protagonistin Meggie in ihrem Verhalten manchmal ziemlich nervig, aber vielleicht habe ich auch schon vergessen, wie nervig 12-jährige sein können.

Sprachlich war das Buch sehr schön und auch der Plot war angemessen spannend und ging in der richtigen Geschwindigkeit voran.

Ich bin gespannt auf die Fortsetzungsbände, da dieser erste Band für mein Empfinden einen klaren Abschluss hat. Da ich aber die Trilogie im Set gekauft habe, werde ich wohl bald herausfinden, wie Cornelia Funke die Geschichte fortführt.

Aus meiner Sicht verdiente 4 Sterne.

Joe Krakovsky Some 12 year olds don't grow out of it!

True! But most do change eventually.


Francisca I read Inkheart as an adult and enjoyed it quite a lot. It does seem hard at times to relate to Meggie's actions but, as you said, I'm far from remember what really feels like to be a 12 year old.


Cynnamon I finished the second volume of the trilogy now and it seems Ink World and I don't go well together. I only know people who like this, but I seem to find no access. :(

I never read the following books but do remember this first one fondly. I think something told me it was better not to continue reading.


Matthew Olwell I think you’re right that the character motivations were murky, and I can’t chalk that up to me being a different age from the character as other are here. A truly well-crafted book doesn’t leave the reader wondering why a character does what they do, regardless of age.


Cynnamon Yes, Matthew, that was exactly my problem, this behaviour that obviously would lead to severe problems.
