Can you tamper with a story that's grown a life of its own? 
In Inkspell, Maggie's romantic storyline felt odd to me. I recognize a year has passed since book one but she is still only 13, and it just like Funke wanted something to happen so forced it to be true and tried to make it more mature then it should've been. Book two wasn't as entrancing as book one (few sequels are), and was unnecessarily long, but I love the characters and was eager to discover what happened to them all.
