"She had learnt both to love and to fear the words."
Inkdeath felt long. I don't know if it's because I'm in a reading slump or not, but it took a long time to get through it.
The world is fascinating and interesting and the plot is well-thought out. There are so many plot points, but they are executed well and everything comes together naturally. Master storytelling!
Inkdeath belongs to the catalyst, the character who literally started it all with his voice, Mo, a bookbinder and a Robin Hood. The Inkworld is a world within a world and it's interesting to read about how the Bluejay persona impacts a 'real world' character. The other characters remain interesting and complex. My favourite character is still Elinor because she is a force to be reckoned with. My most disappointing character is Meggie. She's feisty and headstrong, but her role in Inkdeath is dealing with her romance with Farid and her growing feelings towards someone else.
However, while the world and story have a lot of positives, the ending is rushed and anti-climatic. I expected more from a world that I had invested my time and attention in for more than two months.
That being said, I still cherish the Inkworld, a world of beauty and cruelty.
