The Best of the Series

As the last installment of the INKHEART trilogy, INKDEATH goes out with a BANG! After I finished INKSPELL, I scrambled franticly to find INKDEATH. And I wasn't disappointed! I was quite sad when I finished it though, because I read it so quickly and there was no more! I will recommend this book to anyone and everyone! Way more suspense than the other two, this book was the best of the series.

A Great Book

In "Inkdeath" Corenelia brings this great trilogy to a conclusion... or does she? Dustfinger is dead, the Adderhead is apparently immortal (thanks to Mo's White Book), and Ombra has fallen into the his sinister hands . Things look pretty bleak for Meggie and company. The Blue Jay is the only person standing between chaos and the regular people of the Inkworld, but is he up to the task? Will Fenoglio get control of his story again, and is that a good thing? This exciting installment in the Inkheart trilogy is my favorite thus far. The writing and translation are superb, the characters vivid, the story twisting and turning, and the tension mounts to a fever pitch. There is a bit of violence and some bad language (just PG stuff), so parents of the youngest readers and listeners this book might need to wait a few years for you. However, adolescents and their parents you have some great hours ahead of you as you read this and talk about it together. I am just reading it for my enjoyment and I am 35. This is good fiction

Wonderful ending to a wonderful trilogy!

I got this book for Christmas and just started reading it yesterday, and I finished it this afternoon! I could not put it down. The book is wonderfully well-written and I couldn't have asked for a better ending. The beginning of the book starts off a bit slow, and luckily there is an "A to Z of Inkheart" in the back to remind you of who all the characters are (since it does get a little confusing), but even considering this the story captivated me just as it did in Inkheart and Inkspell. Funke has written an exciting conclusion to this series. I don't know about you, but I like to get lost in the books I read, and these books definitely did that for me. Funke's writing captures the heart and keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way to the end. Great writing, and highly recommended!

Funke is on a serious roll

I love the Inkheart trilogy, I seriously can't get enough of it! I must admit at first I was somewhat reluctant to read the conclusion to the trilogy, afraid it might be a letdown as most serie-enders are becoming, but it was as excellent as the first and second books (not to mention the breathtaking cover). Its excellently paced, descriptive, suspenseful, and keeps you flipping the pages, just salivating for the finish. I admit it started a little slow in my opinion, but it definitely picked up and kept my interest; I just couldn't put it down. I don't really want to give anything away, except that this is an amazing book, and you cannot miss out on it.
