One of my favorite series, Inkheart wraps it all up into one: A book about books.
Mo has a gift; a gift of reading the characters right out of stories. Just like he read his wife Resa right out of his life, and into this world where she is captive;she lost her voice, but is searching for her husband and daughter.
Meggie is trying to figure out the whole story of why her Mother has been gone so long, and why her father refuses to tell her anything. But there are others who already know about Mo’s gift, and need to use it to their advantage. The fact that Meggie has this gift will follow her wherever she goes.
I am trying to avoid spoilers, but if you have read this whole series, I would love to hear what you thought about it!
You cannot help but get caught up in the secondary characters in this story; they all take you right back to your favorite stories.

I read Inkheart and fell in love with it. I have the entire series, but I never made it past the first book. For some reason when I started reading the second book I lost interest. It might have been because of the time I waited between the two books. I may have to re-read Inkheart and jump into the second right after. I am terribly curious as to what happens in the end.
I felt the second book had a slow start as well, but the series as a whole is well worth the read! Thanks for sharing!
