Inkdeath

Inkdeath
By Cornelia Funke
Scholastic, 2008, 683 pgs. Young Adult

This final book in the trilogy finds Mo, Meggie, and Resa living in world of Inkheart. Mo has taken on the name The Bluejay and joined the Black Prince and his robbers fighting against the evil in the kingdom. But the evil will not end unless the Aderhead dies. And for him to die, Mo must find a way to write just three words in the Aderheads white book of immortality that will kill him.

I would recommend rereading the first two books in the series before starting Inkdeath. I had forgotten some of the characters (and there are a lot) and so it can be confusing at times remembering how they all fit into the story.

Inkheart is set in the real world, whereas the sequels Inkspell and Inkdeath are set in the Inkworld. The first novel can be read standalone; however, the two sequels form parts 1 and 2 of a larger story arc. I listened to the entire trilogy on CD and discovered that each one was read by a different narrator and they were all good.
