Inkspell

Product Information

Director Iain Softley and Helen Mirren Team Up to Talk About Inkheart a January 2007 article from About.com 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. 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 “romance,” she ought to have made Meggie at least 16 in this book. Of course I think that’s still too young, but it’s better than just 13! I don’t care how grown up she looks. Also I don't think that just because the girls in the Inkworld get married when they’re Meggie’s 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... :/ Fenoglio, with Meggie Folchart's help, create a double who looks just like Cosimo. Brianna falls in love with "Cosimo", but "Cosimo" is then killed by the same person who killed the original Cosimo - Firefox. Der Abschluss vom zweiten Teil hat die Spannung nochmal gehoben und es gab eine herzzerreißende Szene, die mich zu Tränen gerührt hat!

So I get this book. It shows up in the mail. 'Dear Brendan,' it's inscribed, 'Thank you for inspiring this character.' I can feel my leg getting pulled already. 'What? Where's Ashton Kutcher?' 'I hope that you get a chance to read this aloud to your kids one day. Best wishes, Cornelia Funke.' I had no idea from a bar of soap who she was, so I Googled her. Wow, so much work, she's prolific. I think part of the story is that a little girl who was bilingual, I think she was a Brit but she spoke German fluently, had discovered a copy of Tintenherz which she loved and read, and wrote to either it was Cornelia or the publisher and asked why isn't this published in English? And I think Cornelia probably wanted to know the answer to that question too. So once it was, it just became a snowballing thing and then that really got her out there and led to the acclaim and popularity of her work. Basically everyone is in the Inkworld now apart from Elinor and Darius, who are left suffering as Orpheus destroys her house.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Initially conceived as a trilogy, a sequel, The Colour of Revenge ( German: Die Farbe der Rache), will be published in October 2023 in Germany.

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.

Success!

Los personajes merecen un párrafo aparte porque sentí que se trasformaban todo el tiempo. Ya no son los “inocentes” 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 está en la adolescencia y empieza a tener sus inquietudes, Mo no está 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… Según mi opinión, el personaje más increíble de este segundo libro es Mo, porque deja de ser un encuadernador apacible y se convierte en algo más (no puedo decir más porque es una de las grandes genialidades de Sangre de tinta). Hay unos cuantos capítulos dedicados al crecimiento de este personaje y son los que más disfruté. 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 mí no me parece que lo sea. Die Protagonisten blieben für mich blutleer und langweilig und der wichtigste Charakter Meggie erschien mir noch unerträglicher als im ersten Band. Inkspell is the second novel in Cornelia Funke's Inkheart trilogy. The first novel, Inkheart (2003), was critically acclaimed and was made into a major motion picture released in January 2009. This book was kind of dark for the middle grade category, and that's why I probably loved it even more than Inkheart. Huge character development, a beautifully spun story and a new setting, full of life and secrets to uncover. I also have to confess my slight crush on Mo Folchart.
