Second in a series of three...and I will definitely be listening to the third. In this one, most of the major characters end up in Inkworld. They face many challanges and dangers, but somehow, still love things about this made-up world. I was in tears at the end, but I won't say if they were happy or sad tears. No spoilers.

I enjoyed this sequel so much more than I expected! I had no idea where the series was going after finishing Inkheart but the plot of Inkspell was so fun! I loved getting to learn more about the Inkworld and being able to experience it as readers. There were some new characters, some old characters, and overall so much growth in terms of the story line! The ending was very high stakes and made me eager to pick up the final installment of the trilogy!

Oh man, the rollercoaster of emotions that occured in the last few chapters followed by the cliffhanger..

I enjoyed this book, I think it is better than the first, and I hope the next one is even better.

Loveable characters: Yes

Nachdem mich das erste Buch schon in den Bann gezogen hat, war es auch bei "Tintenblut" nicht anders - nur dass diesmal sehr viel mehr passiert und wir endlich eintauchen können in Fenoglios erschaffene Welt. Die Charaktere entwickeln sich gut und nachvollziehbar weiter, die Tintenwelt wird detailreich dargelegt und an Action fehlt es definitiv auch nicht.
Auch werden neue Charaktere eingebaut, von denen man bereits in Tintenherz gehört hat - dennoch muss Funke auf jeden Fall auspassen, dass sich das Buch deswegen nicht zu sehr zieht, man kann schließlich nicht allein Plot Lines folgen, ohne schnell gelangweilt zu werden.
Dennoch - der dritte Band kann gar nicht schnell genug rauskommen...

Main criticism: too many characters 

Will not be finishing this childhood series 

I liked this one better than the first book. (Very unusual I know.) I think it’s because this book focuses a lot more on what’s going on inside Inkworld rather than just focusing on the characters that have come out of the book into our world.
