Inkspell

Product Information

Cornelia Funke no sólo hace un homenaje a la literatura, sino que quiere demostrar que las palabras son mucho más poderosas que las armas. Sure, we have a romantic subplot between Meggie and Farid but it doesn��t take up much space, and as the reader soon realizes, Farid is much more preoccupied with Dustfinger, whom he has chosen as a father figure, than with his sweetheart. That's how Maggie lost her mother, all those years ago, and how Dustfinger was ripped from its pages.

Immer noch versucht er, die Ereignisse nach seinem Willen zu formen, als Schöpfer dieser Welt, doch auch er hat seine Grenzen, die der eitle alte Mann nur ungerne zugeben will. Los personajes se involucran en una trama palaciega que empieza a afectarlos más de lo que desearían, ya que en ese mundo existen dos príncipes (o tres, depende de cómo lo miremos) que pelean una guerra silenciosa. Dabei greift alles einwandfrei ineinander und man hat trotz vieler Verstrickungen immer den Überblick, den roten Faden, der sich durch die Handlung zieht. The protagonists remained anemic and boring for me and the most important character Meggie seemed even more unbearable to me than in the first volume.

I also enjoyed the jealousy that Meggie feels when she sees Mo with her mother, the two of them having just recently been reunited, but since Meggie grew up without a mother, it is hard for her to treat Resa like she treats Mo. El final me hizo llorar, no sólo por las consecuencias de la guerra que se desata, sino también por la genialidad en la construcción: nada se da en diez páginas, como suele pasar con otros libros.

Of course, it's that sort of earnest, almost gushing veneration of books and book-loving that made the absorbing suspense-fantasy Inkheart so wonderful in the first place, with that lit-affection getting woven integrally into the plot ( Inkheart being both Funke's first book in the series, and the fictitious book within that book, authored by the frustrated Fenoglio, now trapped within the book, er, within the book. Instead, Orpheus steals the book and hands it over to Basta, who seeks revenge for the death of his master Capricorn. Ya no son los “inocentes” que conocimos en el otro libro: creo que todos han perdido algo y se ven arrastrados en una historia que cambia segundo a segundo y no los deja en paz. Expanding on the ideas behind Inkheart, Funke explores what might happen if authors try to change the world they have created.They may sometimes seem intimidating but there's no better way to get attached to the characters, feel their struggles, live and breathe with them like you were exactly there. I want to finish the series to see what happens, but honestly, I'm not looking forward to another 19 hour slog through an audiobook, or reading a 600+ page novel just to satisfy my curiosity. Rereading the Ink trilogy by Cornelia Funke reminded me that I should reread my old faves more often.
