The Inkworld: Mesmerizing, Deadly, Unforgettable

Maggie and her father (Mo) have a unique gift. They're silvertongues. When they read aloud, things in the book become so entranced by their voices that quite often characters will follow the sound into in the real world. That delight often comes with a price.

Something comes out, something goes in.

That's how Maggie lost her mother, all those years ago, and how Dustfinger was ripped from its pages. Dustfinger spent twenty years in the real world with only a burning desire to go home.

Maggie has her mother back but all she can think of is that inky, wondrous world - of the adventures and mayhem, the beauties and the beasties, and the glory and the magic. She has to find a way in, if only so she can look.

Slowly, one-by-one, the characters find ways to disappear into the heart of the Inkworld - will they ever surface? And if they could, would they even want to?

The sequel didn't entrance me in the same way as the first book. It kind of felt a bit too long and there were parts that dragged.

But, the author did such a good job with the Inkheart that I will read anything involving the Inkworld. I love these characters so much,

The second book is fun but the third is kinda a dud from what i remember. Nothing holds the same magic as book 1

Isla Omg, I loved this world when I was younger and your review now has me wondering how it will hold up to much older me. If you've read this book before, did your feelings for it change in any way?

Inkheart - loved it as much as i did the first time (if not more)

Inkspell - still pretty good. But now that I'm older i picked up on how the quality went down a smidge

Inkdeath - couldn't get through it as a kid (9-10 yrs) and while i managed to force my way through as an adult, i didn't really enjoy it. Maggie became an average ya heroine, her dad took center stage, the world was full of enemies that i just didn't care about
