The Adderhead--his immortality bound in a book by Meggie's father, Mo--has ordered his henchmen to plunder the villages. The peasants' only defense is a band of outlaws led by the Bluejay--Mo's fictitious double, whose identity he has reluctantly adopted. But the Book of Immortality is unraveling, and the Adderhead again fears the White Women of Death. To bring the renegade Bluejay back to repair the book, the Adderhead kidnaps all the children in the kingdom, dooming them to slavery in his silver mines unless Mo surrenders.

Pre/Anticipatory Thoughts: I had read the first two books in this trilogy and was anxiously awaiting the third and final installment. I really enjoyed Inkheart and Inkspell, so I expected to like this bookInkdeathequally as well. Looking at the cover of Inkdeath, I could see the outline of a skull. Inside the skull was a blurry image of a castle, a unicorn, a magpie and some greenery. Outside the skull a spooky looking butterfly with a skeleton head, a spider with a skeleton head superimposed onI love, love these books. They're great reads for fantasy. The whole concept is very creative, so cool I wish I'd come up with it! She's a great story teller with wonderful characters, her story is rich with it's own special world. You should check it out. But I'd recommend it on Audio book, Actor Brendan Fraiser reads book 2 and 3 himself and is a fantastic narrator! (He also plays the lead role of Moe the book Binder in the film version InkHeart as well)
Read first one to my ten year old son..... We both really enjoyed it, but he found it a bit scary
I have to give the translator props here, because these do not read like translated works. I never would have guessed that they weren't originally written in English.Okay, I give the series as a whole four stars, but if I were rating them separately, it'd be like this:Inkheart: 3 starsFun young people's fantasy. Good concept. Some good characters, particularly Dustfinger, but Mo, Fenoglio, and Elinor are also swell. Entertaining. Certainly good enough to get me to pick up the sequel, but not
05/12: John's turn now.08/11: There were some iffy reviews on Amazon about this one. But I loved it. It tied together everything for me brilliantly. I like that Meggie finally realized Fahreed was "the wrong boy" as her father always knew. Doria is perfect for her. Eleanor is a pip, and I am glad it is alluded to that she and Dorias may have gotten together in the end. I love that DustFinger and Mo tapped into amazing sides of themselves and protected their families and all of Ombre from the
My 15 year old grandson who reads mostly adult books grabbed the galley of INKDEATH and enjoyed a long flight. I would give the trilogy 5 stars as a whole. I wish the final volume had been tightened a little. The plot threads come together well in this fast paced conclusion of an outstanding fantasy series.
I read Inkdeath today, and though I liked it... I don't know. It got confusing at times, and, well, Meggie and Farid's end to their relationship was not, I think, the best way to end the book. It seemed rather unfair to me, that she just gave up on him all of a sudden. It was still beautifully written, but I might have liked the trilogy a bit better if it had ended with the same feeling as Inkspell. I'm not saying it wasn't good, it was still beautifully written. But it kind of disappointed me.
