Inkspell takes us to a place that we heard about in Inkheart, the Inkworld: a traditional fairytale world where beauty and intrigue hides darkness and cruelty. The Inkworld is interesting and contains a multitude of characters who are unique, but also extremely familiar. Inkspell is a book with a world within a world (kinda like Inception, just with books instead of dreams) and I enjoy the world-building, the fantasy aspect and the logic of it all.
I'm also a huge fan of all the characters. They might seem predictable at times, but they are realistic and flawed. The most interesting character in Inkspell is Dustfinger. Inkspell is Dustfinger's story because we get to learn so much about him. There's so much that occurs in Inkspell, the characters go through so much and I enjoyed experiencing the world through their eyes. Cornelia Funke also knows how to write villains. Her villains are cliche, but because they're meant to be typical storybook villains, their characterizations work. The only thing that I didn't like was the romance between Meggie and Farid. I felt like it came out of nowhere and didn't make much sense.
I enjoyed rereading Inkspell. Cornelia Funke's storytelling is such a treat!
"Stories never really end, Meggie," he had once told her, "even if the books like to pretend they do. Stories always go on. They don't end on the last page, anymore that they begin on the first page."

Wieder gelesen, wieder geliebt. Die Tintenwelt in all ihrer Pracht und Abscheulichkeit.
This book is one of my favorite books of all time. Along with Pride and Prejudice and The Princess Bride and such. My favorite book of this beautiful series. So wonderful, literary fiction meets awesome plot! Love it. I just got these for my birthday, even though I've read them many times and can always get them from the library, I wanted to own them for myself.
