Back Cover Synopsis: "Although a year has passed, not a day goes by without Meggie thinking of
Inkheart, the book whose characters came to life--and changed her life forever.
But for Dustfinger, the fire-eater brought into being from words, the need to return to the original tale has become desperate. When he finds a crooked storyteller with the magical ability to read him back, Dustfinger leaves behind his young apprentice Farid and plunges into the medieval inkscape once more.
Distraught, Farid goes in search of Meggie, and before long both are caught inside the book, too. There they meet
Inkheart's author, Fenoglio, now living within his own story. But the tale is much changed, and threatening to evolve in ways none of them could ever have imagined. Will Meggie, Farid, and Fenoglio manage to
write the wrongs of a charmed world? Or is their story on the brink of a very bad ending?"
Review: This is the second book of the series--and I adore books of a series. I found it a little harder to get into this one than I did with the first one. But, that might be due to an increased busy life; the end is where I really got into it and couldn't put it down.
All in all, it is a very magical book (for the reader). While I was reading, I was captured in the "what is going to happen next?"--even though it sometimes seemed a little drawn out.
But, I am excited to finish the series with the third book,
InkDeath.
