Inkspell

Product Information

Mo is horrified when he figures out what his daughter has done—and has only himself to blame, as usual, since this all could have been cleared up with a conversation. Farid runs all the way to Elinor's house (where everyone is currently staying, including Teresa Folchart and Darius), and tells everyone what has just happened. 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.

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. Dustfinger, now in the Inkworld, regrets the fact that Farid didn't come back with him but didn't suspect that Orpheus intended it that way. Firefox is made immortal, surviving a fatal stabbing without suffering any consequences, but then Taddeo, the Adderhead's librarian, kills him by writing the three words in the book. The setting was richly realized and felt infinite like a good faerieland should - even though this sort of faux-Italian renaissance faire kingdom was cliché back when Jo March was sending serials to the Weekly Volcano.Es war so, so toll, sich mit Meggies Worten in die Tintenwelt tragen zu lassen, auch endlich an den Abenteuern teilhaben zu können, die in "Tintenherz" angedeutet werden und die vielen Wesen kennenzulernen, die diese magische Umgebung bevölkern. Orpheus uses his powers to read Mortola and Basta, some of the villains of the first volume, into the story, along with Meggie's parents. 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. Orpheus attempts to read Basta, Mortola, and Mortimer into the Inkworld, but Resa holds onto her husband, and all four of them end up in Capricorn's fortress.

Meggie goes willingly into the Adderhead's Castle of Night and, fulfilling a prophecy she and Fenoglio dreamed up and "read" into reality, offers him a bargain: Mo, a great bookbinder rather than the robber they believe him to be, will bind the Adderhead a book of immortality if he releases Meggie, Resa, Mo, and the rest of the strolling players. Alleine schon die vielen malerischen Namen und Schauplätze, von denen man im ersten Teil schon ein paar erfahren durfte, lassen einen die Tintenwelt mit allen Sinnen entdecken! 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—Resa refuses to let go of her husband’s hand and is dragged back to the world where she spent years as a foreigner. Indeed, the premise and many of the characters kept the tale hopping and I only occasionally compared it to other Young Adult novels. Woven in and around the breakneck adventure is the provocative notion that words, and the meanings they carry, are plastic and ever susceptible to change.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. So I am going to review the first book Inkheart alongside the second Inkspell since they are part of a trilogy. 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’t stop bad things from happening to his favorite characters. Da ich die Tintenwelt-Trilogie als Komplett-Set gekauf habe, werde ich den dritten Band auch noch lesen.

A modo de resumen, Sangre de tinta no tiene nada que envidiarle a su antecesor y es un salto perfecto hacia la conclusión de la trilogía. 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.After countless failures, Dustfinger and Farid tracks down yet another Silvertongue, Orpheus, in the hopes of reading Dustfinger back into the Inkworld with the additional request that Farid tags along. The metaliterary musings begun in the previous title become grander here, as each character grapples with the possibility of challenging the fate that has been written. 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. She’s also rapidly sprouting from a scrawny little girl into a pretty young woman, and when Farid shows up he NOTICES.
