Inkspell

Now you must be confused after reading this post's title since I just thougt that Inkheart was pleasent so why in the world did I read this book you may wonder,I guess I should blame it on my little brother he saw me reading the first book and thought I really enjoyed it so for a belated birthday present he gave me this book.Of course I politely accepted the book from him and I really hope he didn't see the regret of my smile on the time that I let him see what I was reading nonetheless I have the obligation to read for him and for this blog and here we are.Inkspell is a book written by Cornelia Funke and the sequel to Inkheart.It was published on the year 2005 and like the first book it recieve a lot of positive comments.

The High and Low
.It expands the world and characters more.
.I definitely felt that the story was superior than it's predecessor.

The bad
.My favourite character Elinor didn't appear very much
.Like the first book it drags too long for anyone to really enjoy the story.

Quick Summary
A year has passed since book one and Maggie still thinking about Inkheart.Dustfinger found a man named Orpheus to read him back but the man only read Dustfinger back to the book so Farid is left there alone.Farid went to Elinor's house to ask Meggie to read him into the book Meggie agreed on the condition that she will go to but of course Mortimer was upset when he found out  about Meggie's deal so he quickly take the book from her.Now Dustfinger was finally back in his own world after years but now everything is not the same as it was before..................................................................................................that's all for now.

The Conclusion
When I knew the second book wasn't titled Inkheart 2 The Adventure of Elinor I didn't have any great expectation but as I read the book I was genuinely suprised on the improvement from its predecessor.The story felt more alive.The characters also became more likable and I felt that they also had more depth.I thought that the author was smart giving  more spotlight on characters like Farid,Basta and Fenoglio but sadly by doing that she sacrificed Elinor's scene which I definitely thought that maybe it would have been better if she sacrificed some not so interesting characters like Fenoglio.While the story had improved it still drag for too long for anyone to appreciate the story.Let's just hope that the author fixes that problem the third time around.While it still need a major improvement I really felt that it was a far more stronger book than I have expected.
