A great fantasy series. Lots of action and adventure, twists and turns. The plot of this book is something never before seen, what other book has people who can read anything out of a novel? The third book was a little bit of a let down, with the first two of the series being impossible to put do...

Amo leer a Cornelia Funke, es una autora que no puede escribir mal. Es bonito porque esta historia en particular junta 3 cosas en un mismo libro: lo dificil que es crecer, hacer amigos y madurar; una aventura fantástica y por último una narración histórica marcada por una investigación realizada ...
One of my favorite series of all time! Though translated from German, if I hadn't known I wouldn't have guessed; it's beautifully written and brilliantly detailed. I adore all three of the books, but I prefer the second and third, which take place in the 'Inkworld'- a fantastical place full of bl...

Venice would be one of the places I'd visit before I die.The story of The Thief Lord weaved wonderfully with the gorgeous city of Venice.If this story had been in a different location it might not have been as appealing.I love it when a book takes me to places I have never been before.I rarely tr...

She thought she could feel the vixen’s pointy snout prodding her forehead.Fox! Wake up! But when she opened her eyes, she found herself alone in her human body.Above her she saw a canopy, blue like the evening sky, and the dress she was wearing was as strange to her as the bed she was lying on. H...
“I remember that night in Capricorn’s village .. I remember all about it, and you had only a single sheet of paper then!” That night in Capricorn’s village. Meggie’s heart always began to thud when she thought of it: the night when she had read the Shadow into appearing, and then hadn’t been able...
"I don't know what's going on here," she snapped at Capricorn. "I don't know who you are, or what you and all these men with guns are doing in this godforsaken village, and I don't want to know either. I'm here to see that this girl gets her father back. We'll leave you the book you're so keen to...
His brother was gone. Any trace of human skin had vanished, and he was nothing but breathing stone, his familiar body now cast in jade like a dead insect in amber. Goyl. Will didn't see Jacob or Clara as he rose from the sandstone bench on which he had lain. His eyes sought only one face — that ...
Elinor Loredan The name sounded almost as if he’d thought her up himself. Cursing, Fenoglio pulled the blanket over his face. Wasn’t it bad enough that she was a know-it-all, a bluestocking, and stubborn as a mule? Did she have to be an early riser, too? He supposed day was just beginning to dawn...
