A review by breebers
Das goldene Garn by Cornelia Funke

3.0

Like everything I've read of Funke's, this was creative and engaging, even as an adult reader. Her characters are well crafted as are the worlds she creates. I can't say I thought the overall story and construct was as strong as the Inkworld trilogy, but I did enjoy most of this book. Some of the character interactions that seemed important sort of got glossed over by the end, and while I expect there's more to come in this series (and I'm excited to read any continuation), it didn't grab and hold me as well as some of her other works. Still, I think the translation of style and syntax has improved over some of the earlier works.
One of these days maybe I'll re-learn enough German to be able to read some of her work in the original language...
