The story was good but it seemed a bit drawn out. ( )

By far the best in the trilogy. I throughly enjoyed this, likely owing to the level of anxiety caused by so many perils. Peril is the operative word here. Every chapter, every page, with enough breathing space not to exhaust the reader. The writer has created a universe that will stay in the mind long after it’s finished. The only negatives are a few flaws. I wasn’t able to connect with Dustfinger to the extent I did in the other books, but I still loved him enough to overlook this. And Meggie didn’t seem to have such a starring role. It’s also hard to see Mo change so much. Still, the tension carries this book and makes it my favourite of the three. ( )

Dit is een geweldig slot van een fantastische trilogie. Voor iedereen die genoten heeft van "Het oneindige verhaal" een enorme aanrader. Dit is een kinderboek zoals het hoort: niet bang voor gruwelijke dingen, maar geschreven met een hart voor verhalen en een prachtige fantasiewereld. ( )

It is finished. I managed to read the entire trilogy, all 50 pounds of it. I am convinced the author needs a lesson in word economy. As wonderful as the story is, there are times where the words just keep going and going and going. It is as though she was under the same delusion of grandeur that Fenoglio and Orpheus suffered. Despite my complaints, I still enjoyed this book. The last 100 pages are fantastic - all story lines collided and came to a satisfactory end. ( )

Inkdeath is the conclusion to the inkheart trilogy. The book picks up where Inkspell left off, and brings the reader on various twists and turns along the way. The story is fine, but I found it had more weaknesses than the previous two. While I enjoyed a lot of it, I found the book very lengthy, without adequate time on the relationships between characters. Meggie is largely sidelined, which is unfortunate as she played such a major role previously, and Elinor is barely there. Meggie and Farid's relationship just kind of fizzles out, and we flash forward to her with a new character. Orpheus becomes the new villain, and at the end just flees North - and somehow never bothers them again? The story winds up feeling rushed at the end, despite being a nearly 700 page children's book. Though I loved Inkheart, the conclusion fell a bit flat for me. Still an enjoyable read, but I am not sure it stuck the landing for me. ( )

Epigraph
I am the song that sings the bird.
I am the leaf that grows the land.
I am the tide that moves the moon.
I am the stream that halts the sand.
I am the cloud that drives the storm.
I am the earth that lights the sun.
I am the fire that strikes the stone.
I am the clay that shapes the hand.
I am the word that speaks the man.
--Charles Causely, "I am the Song."
Dedication
To Rolf, always -- it was the best of things to be married to Dustfinger.

To Ileen, who knows all about loss and was always there to understand and ease the pain.

To Andrew, Angie, Antonia, Cam and James, Caroline, Elinor, and last but for sure not least, Lionel and Oliver, who all brought so much light, warmth, and true friendship to dark days.

And to the City of Angels, which fed me with beauty and wilderness and with the feeling that I had found my Inkworld.
First words
Moonlight fell on Elinor's bathrobe, her nightdress, her bare feet, and the dog lying in front of them.
