Inkdeath: Setting

This book takes place in the Inkworld. The Inkworld is the setting of the book Inkheart that was written by the character Fenoglio. The reason it takes place in the Inkworld is because Orpheus read Mo and Resa there, and Meggie read herself there. The Inkworld is in the same time as this world, but the era is similar to that of medieval England. Except for the fact that there are all sorts of mythical creatures like fairies and brownies, water nymphs, fire elves and many more, there are many of the same plants and animals, although, there is a tree that is completely poison, and a berry that turns you into the animal that you represent. The forests are a lot older that here, so the trees are huge, though,there are many of the same varieties.
The city of Ombra is beautifully carved out of stone, although there is a lot of poverty. There are hardly any men in Ombra since the fall of Cosimo, there are a lot of women and children. There is a lot of waste in the streets, and it stinks to high heaven, but it is still a fine city. The castle of Ombra is very grand, though not as grand as The Adderhead’s castle, but since The Milksop started ruling, there are almost no books left in the castle. He sells them to buy wine.
Argenta is by silver mines, and The Adderhead loves silver, so the castle is almost covered in The Castle on the Lake is just that: a castle surrounded by water too deep for giants to wade in. The bridge is only wide enough for a single horse, so no one can attack the castle. There is also a tunnel that goes under the lake that also let’s you into the castle, but that’s a secret. There are no windows – except for one room – but the walls are painted with beautiful pictures. The only room with windows is completely made with windows, but that room was only made because the King’s daughters were getting nearsighted. At the present it is uninhabited, but The Adder’s daughter’s mother’s father used to rule there. I think that the novel has to be in a mythical place, or else some of the things that make up the plot would not be possible, like shape-shiftingsilver. The city has a great deal of silver decorating it also. The castle is very sinister-looking, and the hill that the castle is on has no trees at all.
