I read this book a very long time ago, way back in grade 8 and while rereading it for this, my lovely blog, I discovered something. I didn't finish the book. Sometimes, when you get emotionally attached to a character and something bad happens to them you just want to give up and that's exactly what I did all those years ago. I was only 20 pages from the end. Also, the parts I did read I remembered wrong so rereading it was like reading it for the first time.
Inkspell was far darker than Inkheart. In Inkheart there was some sort of hope that everything would turn out all right but Inkspell was just buckets of depression. The story would be looking up for a chapter or two only to take a nose dive to the bitter end of the story and I fear that Inkdeath will be even worse.
Dustfinger broke my heart. He is my favourite character in the books. I really appreciate the romance between Meggie and Farid. Fenoglio is awesome and the villains are so well written that they make me shake in my very stylish boots. Inkspell was very very well written and super easy to read and would have been done much sooner if I had the time.
I give Inkspell 8 fire elves out of 10. I read a lot of dark books but that doesn't mean I like them a lot. I find it hard to deal with all the dark all the time because I use books to escape from my own pathetic life and when they're depressing they don't do their job. Everyone should read the Inkheart trilogy. They're too good to pass up.
