Resumo de Inkspell - Cornelia Funke

Meggie, a one-year older and more mature Meggie, still can't stop thinking about Fenoglio's Inkheart novel, and the characters who came alive from its pages to revolutionize her life. Dustfinger, the fire-eater made only of Fenoglio's words, is still stuck in the wrong world. When he's finally read back into the story by a crooked storyteller, Orpheus, he leaves his young apprentice Farid behind. But Farid has discovered the Inkworld's dark and dirty secret, and he longs to go back to warn Dustfinger. Farid goes in search of Meggie, who reads them both into the story in search of it's author, now living inside his own tale. But much has changed since Meggie?s last visit. Basta is back, Cosimo is dead, and the Adderhead plans to take over the Inkworld. Will the three unlikely heroes be able to ?write? the wrongs in time to give this story a happy ending?

Inkspell, the sequel to Cornelia Funke?s coveted Inkheart, is one of those stories that really makes you think. The whole idea of being able to read somebody into or out of a story is completely absurd, yet it seems totally believable when you read the story. It?s kind of confusing at first, but once you can wrap your head around the idea; it makes for a very interesting read.

Sometimes, the extra description takes your mind off of the plot, but Cornelia Funke plunges you right back in with a huge action scene, and everything seems to fall into place. The story is also cleverly written. Readers follow the adventures of a character for a few chapters, and then, right after a big cliff hanger, the author switches to a different character. It makes you anxious to finish the next few chapters, so that you can get back to Meggie and Farid and find out what happened, but then once you get back to them, you can?t wait to get back to Dustfinger and Fenoglio, because something extremely important just happened to them. It goes on and on like this until, abruptly, this spellbinding story is cut short.

I admit that I was a bit disappointed at first, but the ending was skilfully done too because the action never fades, and the sudden ending will have you eagerly awaiting the next novel. (Hopefully there is one!)

Meggie, her family, and her friends are likable characters, which makes you feel scared and sorry for them because of everything they?ve gone through, while at the same time, there?s some quality about the evil Adderhead or Firefox that you can sympathize with, like their fear or the way they must live to survive.

The ?Lord of the Story? herself, Cornelia Funke, was born in Germany and still lives there with her husband and their two kids. She worked first as an illustrator, which inspired her to become an author for all ages. Her books have been translated and sold in many different countries.
