Inkdeath

As the last book in the Inkheart series, Inkdeath is an amazing wrap-up of this thrilling series. The story of Mo, Meggie, and Resa goes on, telling about their hardships, struggles, wants, and needs. And to think that the one action of Mo, reading Resa into a book all those years ago, could have induced this action-packed adventure of faith, loyalty, betrayal, and lies!

Meggie turns out to be a very stubborn, strong-willed girl that will fight for the ones she loves and do what she thinks is right. She has the unique power of her father as well- the ability to read characters out of books.  She dreams of being able to write as well as she can read so she can script character's fates as well as read them in and out of books. Isn't it truly magical to be able to have a pencil to write down character's fates? Kind of like Solomon's ring. One pen to write it all.

Mortimer, Meggie's father, otherwise known as Mo, Silvertongue, the Bluejay, and the Jay, finds himself a part of the story he once upon a time read Resa into and Dustfinger and Capricorn out of. Interesting how the reader turns out to be one of the most important characters. Now, he finds himself quite attached to the Inkworld, and finds that he, with Meggie, doesn't wish to leave.

Resa, Meggie's mother, meanwhile, does wish to return to her own world. But as their life is caught up in the Inkworld at the moment, she sees no way to get out. Personally, I think that Resa was the most useless of all the characters, and I can't say that I loved her very much....

So this family gets together, and gets swept up in the Inkworld. Really. I have to say that Cornelia Funke did a terrific job of writing Inkdeath, and Inkheart, and Inkspell, and the Inkheart series! Amazing books everyone should read, they are. Beautifully written, with an amazing plotline!

*** I give this book a 9.8 out of 10!***
