I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this book. It's not the best, but for a childrens/YA book, it's great. I loved the climax, but not so much the falling action. If it had wrapped up a little better, this could have easily been 4 stars.
I like the idea of what you read can come to life. although it is a dangerous thing i like the idea of it. Books feel somtimes like they do come alive and so this is exciting. the storyline is great and it was a fun read !
4.5/5 ⭐️

One of my all time favorite series. You MUST read this. Meggie lives with her dad, Mo. When Mo reads aloud, he reads characters out of books - the Inkworld. Unfortunately, he can't control who comes out of the Inkworld nor can he control who disappears into the Inkworld. Highly entertaining.

When I first started this book and all the way to the halfway point, I was sure this would be a 5 star read. The characters are outstanding, the plot is unique, and the atmosphere vivid - I was on this quest with these characters and fully invested. But at 548 pages (for a middle grade book!), it was just too long. The length wasn't necessary, as the characters would be captured, then escape, then be captured again, then escape, and I really struggled to read the last third of the book. If the story had been tightened up, it would be an all-time favorite. This is part of a series and I see that book 2 is 682 pages (with lower ratings than the first), so I don't think I'll continue.
The first several hundred pages of this book are actually quite depressing. Very evil characters and very little sense of hope especially for a children's book. But ultimately, I enjoyed the pay off at the end of the book which is what counts, right?
