I have encountered a bunch of childhood favourites that don't stand the test of time after a reread. I was worried that Inkheart would fall into the same category, but, thankfully, I still ended up loving it.
Inkheart is a book about book lovers. Imagine being able to read your favourite characters out of a storybook, but also dealing with disastrous consequences, villains who are downright despicable and the loss of loved ones. I think it takes an interesting look at a readers' greatest fantasy come to life, while also showing the dangers and consequences.
I love all the characters in Inkheart. They feel real and their motivations, reactions, emotions and feelings make so much of sense. My favourite character is Elinor because she's the type of character that I usually like - a no-nonsense person with a soft heart.
The plot is repetitive at times, but I didn't mind because I enjoyed the story. The plot is original and unique and I found it difficult to put Inkheart down.
Reading Inkheart felt like a warm hug, like coming home to something extremely familiar. I'm so glad that I decided to reread this series.

"No, the story must have a happy ending. It wouldn't be right otherwise! She had never liked sad stories"
