Inkspell

Synopsis

Inkspell (German: Tintenblut) is a 2005 young adult fantasy novel by Cornelia Funke, translated by Anthea Bell. It was named the 2006 Book Sense Book of the Year in the Children's Literature category. Inkspell is the second novel in Cornelia Funke's Inkheart series. The first novel, Inkheart (2003), was critically acclaimed and was made into a major motion picture released in January 2009. The third novel, Inkdeath, was published on 28 September 2007 in Germany. Funke acknowledged in a 2006 interview that Inkspell, as the middle book in the trilogy, was darker than the other two volumes, and ended on a cliffhanger. While the English title is "Inkspell", the direct German translation would be "Inkblood". In Inkdeath, the books' names are directly addressed, translating the three regarding words directly (heart, blood, death).
