Inkdeath | Cornelia Funke
post image
Pickpick

Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke is a thrilling conclusion to the Inkworld trilogy. The immersive world-building and intricate plot kept me hooked till the very end. The characters are vibrant and the stakes are high, making for a gripping adventure. Highly recommend! #Inkdeath #CorneliaFunke #BookReview #MustRead #Adventure #Fantasy #InkworldTrilogy #PageTurner #Bookworm #BookLove #BookNerd #BookAddict #BookObsessed #Bookish #BookCommunity

Tintentod | Cornelia Funke

Mehso-so

Ugh, I forgot how misogynistic this series is after the first book. There are allusions to rape, descriptions of child marriage & pregnancy, a lot of descriptions of torture & executions, and women are referred to as a „thing“. The female characters are relegated to the side lines and just accept their terrible lot. They moan and cry while the men fight. Meggie really deserved better!

julesG Sums up the issues I had with this series quite nicely. 3y
thewallflower0707 @julesG and I‘m afraid Funke hasn‘t really improved 😬. Her new Reckless series is also very much focused on the male characters, though at least there is one female character with agency (Fuchs). I also wonder how much Inkheart & Reckless can really be described as literature for young adult since there is so much horrible stuff in it 3y
julesG I haven't read anything else by Funke. I'd recon you can call it YA, with an age group of 14/15 year olds and upwards. Wouldn't consider it middle-grade though. Those are fairly horrible topics, but thinking about what I had to read in school at that age, I guess a younger YA audience can cope. 3y

Tintenherz | Cornelia Funke
post image

One of my favourite books as a young girl. I think I first read this book when I was 9? Two years ago, Cornelia Funke announced that she will release a fourth Inkheart book 📕, and I cannot wait to storm the bookstore on release day.

Every time I travel somewhere, I have to visit at least one bookstore and often also buy a book, and you can find the reason in this quote.

Herr der Diebe | Cornelia Funke

Herr der Diebe was one of my favourite books as a child. In 2015, we travelled to Venedig, the famous setting of the book, and this is the Markusplatz in the early morning.

Reckless 4 | Cornelia Funke
post image
Panpan

Enttäuschend. Die Handlung drehte sich im Kreis, es ist nur wenig passiert, und magische Gegenstände spielten eine eher untergeordnete Rolle. Der Ort (unser Japan) blieb blass, obwohl ich mich schon darauf gefreut hatte, mehr über japanische Märchen zu erfahren. Zum Schluss wurde eigentlich kaum etwas Neues erreicht.

Reckless. Das goldene Garn | Cornelia Funke, Lionel Wigram
post image
Mehso-so

Leider blieb der dritte Teil eher blass und ohne richtige Spannung. Das Goldene Garn spielte nur eine kleine Bedeutung, eigentlich reisten alle die ganze Zeit nur durch irgendwelche kargen Landschaften. Für die Magie der russischen Märchen war da nur wenig Platz.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reckless 2: Lebendige Schatten | Cornelia Funke, Lionel Wigram
post image
Pickpick

I read the sequel to Steinernes Fleisch today on my parents boat 🚤, and we had two visitors as well! Lebendige Schatten is an improvement to the first book, there is barely any Will & Clara in it (yeah!) and we learn much more about the Spiegelwelt. On to book 3!

I read this over ten years ago, and back then, it had a completely different cover. I enjoyed it a lot more than when I was 12. The writing, as always, is very metaphorical and also gentle (I don‘t know how else to describe it), though it has some scary elements too, which is why I won‘t really recommend it for children.
