A review by catbrigand
Inkspell by Cornelia Funke

5.0

This book has one of my favorite ideas in it: how much control over a story do you have once it’s written? How much does it live and breathe on its own (in our world, by how it’s interpreted by readers)? How much should an author try to revise it (looking at you, JK Rowling)? We finally get to see the Inkworld in all its weird and wonderful glory. The translation feels less clunky than with Inkheart, though the book could still do with tighter editing. This is miles better than Inkheart, and one thing that absolutely made it magical was Brendan Fraser’s gorgeous narration.
