Only took me about 10 years to pick up this book after hearing about it, and it took me completely by surprise! With books in the same genre there's usually a structure they follow, but this one was so unpredictable and different in the most fascinating way. I really liked that the characters weren't overpowered; they were just average flawed people being driven by their motivations and doing their best. Also, Elinor being obsessed with her books was a huge mood and that one scene broke my heart.
I will say, Inkheart was so much darker than I expected from a middle-grade, and there were parts I didn't like, e.g. there was so much potential for the relationship between 2 characters but it wasn't taken in that direction.
