Inkdeath: Recommendation

I really enjoyed the book. If you like fantasy, this trilogy is definitely for you. I think you have to not mind fantasy to read it, but the book isn’t completely centered on fantasy, though. I think if you found my blog the least bit interesting, you should read Inkheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath. I have read quite a few books by Cornelia Funke, and I’ve enjoyed them all. Off the top of my head I can think of The Thief Lord, and Dragon Rider, both amazing books.
I would definitely read books on the same topic as this one. I loved this book, but I’m not sure if there are any books on this topic, aside from the previous two books in the trilogy. I really liked the style of writing, but if you don’t like the point of view coming from many different characters, this book is not for you. It can get a little confusing at times, but it’s not too bad. I think I rose up a lot of questions during my whole book report, so if you don’t really understand it, I would recommend reading it. The plot is very complex, and hard to explain without directly summarizing the book. It is a very thick book, which may be a turnoff to some people, but if you don’t mind thick books, I would strongly recommend the trilogy.
I like how it is in first person point of view. It would be hard to understand the characters’ feelings if it wasn’t. In the near future I think I will be looking for more books by Cornelia Funke. She is a very descriptive author, and she has a very avid imagination. I love a book that I can get lost in, and Inkdeath is a very lose-yourself-in-the-pages type of book. The vocabulary is sort of extensive, but shouldn’t pose a problem to many people. If you decide to read this book, you have to remember – Mo, Mortimer, Silvertongue, and The Bluejay are all the same person! Comment if you decide to read the book, I want to hear how you like it! If you’ve already read it, feel free to comment on why you liked it.
