Overall fun and intriguing to the end, and this is definitely better than the first book plot-wise... that being said, most of the characters don't do anything for me. Some of them actually make me mad (Elinor and Fenoglio shut up challenge). Only Dustfinger and the world-building are sexy enough to keep this alive for me.

Also a signed copy with a drawing of Gwin, this time inscribed to my brother.

Hat mir nochmal besser gefallen als Band 1, die Welt ist einfach toll & die Charaktere sowieso

Not quite as enchanting as the first, but fun all the same. I think I prefer to be in the Inkworld rather than the real world - a sentiment expressed by most of the characters, too, it seems. :o) I'm excited to read Inkdeath and see the Adderhead get what's coming to him!

I enjoyed the second installment to the Inkworld series. I like that you see more of the Inkworld itself not just other people's / character's interpretations of it. If these books had been around when I was still a kid I would have been all over them obsessed, as an adult I enjoy them for different reasons but that doesn't make it any less of an amazing story. I will definitely finish this series.

DID NOT FINISH

As much as I love these books for nostalgia reasons, I can't get myself to finish them. DNF @ 200-ish pages.

Das Syndrom des zweiten Buches... es war nicht so gut wie das erste, aber dafür hoffe ich, dass das dritte Buch umso besser wird. An manchen Stellen hat sich die Geschichte echt gezogen, daher hat es bei mir ein bisschen länger gedauert das Buch zu beenden.
