About this title: 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 surrends. First Dustfinger, now Mo: Can anyone save this cursed story?

"i hated hated hated this book why u may ask well simple farid is my favorite character and all of a sudden he turn into a jerk and meggie dumps him what in the world. How can she do that well ofcoarse she is the athor of the story but y farid y him i luv farid. Im soooooooooo glad that dusfinger came back to life but that was it everything else suck for me because farid dint come out as much and when he did he only got rejected by meggie(which i loathe)How come everyone has a happy ending but farid doent wat is that she swore farid happy ending in inkspell she swore."
"wow. I always expect to be disappointed with the final novel in a series... But the INKHEART trilogy continued to put it's best foot forward all the way through it's very last pages. Now I am usually distraught when a main character isn't killed in some glorious manner for the sake of the series, but INKDEATH, somehow didn't need a monumental sacrifice to make it solid. I think Meggie's, "pushing away" of Farid, kind of filled that hole for me.
Now, lets talk about Dustfinger... O.O
I fell in love with this character through this book. I felt myself start to fall during INKSPELL, but I was 100% head over heels by the end of INDEATH. I lived to read the burning passages about the Fire-Dancer. He is one of the most beautiful and compelling characters I've ever read. If Funke made any great achievements with this series, it was in the character of Dustfinger. He leaps off of the page and pulls you into the Inkworld.
To be fair, I feel I must touch on a few other characters before wrapping up my review.
Elinor - became INCREASINGLY annoying through the series. In Inkheart she was humorous, and almost charming. But I could have reached through the book and throttled her in Inkdeath!
Resa - also became quite annoying throughout Inkdeath. I could almost say that I dislike her character after reading the third book.
Mo - Mo's transformation into the Bluejay was superb! The most beautiful scene in the whole novel was when he rode to the castle gates (escorted magnificently be Dustfinger of course), and turned himself in to save the children of Ombra.
Meggie - My attachments to Meggie never really faltered throughout the series. As a character, she had really good instincts, and would always come through when the plot became unbearably frustrating... (in the sense that the "bad guys" were to far ahead) :)
Orpheus - I wanted Orpheus to suffer a very painful, and humiliating death, in which he realized that Mo really was greater than him, but Funke did not give me such satisfaction. It's okay though. I like to think that he did INDEED freeze to death in the mountains. Or better yet, that he became the tortured plaything of a giant. :)"
"I waited so long for this book and I read it in three days. A mistake. If you've been waiting for a book for a while read it slowly so you can enjoy it. As for what I thought. It was pretty good. I think the last chapter could have been written differently..it was kind of stupid in my opinion. There were some changes made to people in the story that I didn't like, particularly Resa, but it was okay. Mo is so much better in this book than the other two. I really liked him. Dustfiner, as always, is my all time favorite though. Reading it, at some points I got angry at Cornelia Funke but, hey, it's her book, let her do what she wants. One more thing. I hate, hate, hate Meggie. I hate her. I can not stand her. Everytime she talks I want to put the book down and never pick it up again - which I almost did by the way, several times, for various reasons. But, what can I say? The story wouldn't let me go until I'd finished it. Although there are only like two or three characters in them that I care about. And one of them is not Meggie."
"This one was headed for three stars until the ending, which was so well done. I feel that Funke could have told this trilogy in two books--I was getting VERY tired of all the extraneous characters who flitted through books 2 and 3, while Elinor's wonderful character had almost no attention in the last 2 books.
However, Dustfinger remains one of my favorite characters of ALL time (even if Funke kept letting him die and then bringing him back). The storyline just became a jumble, especially after Orpheus entered the picture--a fat, vain, evil version of Fenoglio, the original writer.
A good editor could have really helped--and the last few chapters of this book made the jumble worth the wait. At times I was furious with all of them for being seduced by the Inkworld, at the cost of lives and much pain. But the very fact that I was so disturbed shows that I understand the Siren song of a good story, even with all the ugly elements.
So, that all said, I've ordered this whole trilogy from Amazon. As I've said from the beginning, Funke is no Tolkien nor even Rowling--but there is something of the creeping darkness of Grimm's tales that lives in the INKHEART series. I want to revisit the wonderful quotations she uses at the beginning of each chapter--so well chosen and from so many different sources."
