Meggie longs to visit the ink world and is able to read herself and Farid there, leaving behind Mo and Resa, her parents, and her Aunt Elinor. Show More man he has grown to love like a father. The mark of a book worth reading is the fact that I want to find out what happens to the characters after I've turned the last page of the book and so with anticipation I will dive right into Inkdeath.

There is sense of familiarity with the books, like friends we've known our whole lives, but also a sense of discovery as the story unfolds in ways I hadn't expected. In some ways the series reminds me a lot of traditional stories that we used to read as children where the beauty of the books lies in simple things like colourful characters we grow love and characters we instinctively despise - no gimmicks and fancy tricks needed. Inkspell had the same wonderful combination that was present in Inkheart of quirky characters and exciting plot sequences. I quite enjoyed this second book in the series and my doubts and fears that it would not stand up to the first book was quickly allayed. The story becomes a race against time with Meggie and Mo facing the difficult decision of which world do they belong to - a choice that may not be theirs to make. In this new world, Meggie, Mo, Dustfinger, and his faithful shadow Farid, find themselves facing a host of enemies, some familiar, some new. Show More around, Meggie and her father are no longer just reading about Inkworld, but by a series of unfortunate events, find themselves playing a part in the story itself.
