I have wanted to read this book ever since I was a teen and have only just got round to it at the age of 25.

I loved the interweaving of book quotes with the chapters - I thought this was beautiful and a lovely tip of the hat to bookworms everywhere. I was really excited for the concept of a bookworm with the ability to bring characters to life but was left missing something by this book.

However, I found myself counting down the pages to the end of the book. Feeling I was dragging my feet through it rather than savouring each page - and I normally like long books! I found myself questioning the decisions made at some points in the books by characters, which didn’t seem to match their personalities. I felt the text at times was disconnected emotionally - even in parts where emotional reunions were involved! I also felt like I couldn’t easily picture the places in the novel at times as there was a lack of scenic description. 

In sum, I really love the concept but feel some descriptions were missing and that there are some areas for development.

This was a childhood favourite of mine so I decided to reread it! As someone who loves to get lost in books I really like the concept of this story. It was just as charming and enjoyable as I remembered, but lacked the depth and nuanced writing I craved as an adult reader.

Rereading the series so I can finally finish Inkdeath, and because of the gorgeous new covers. This felt like coming home to an old friend - some things haven't changed (my fascination with Dustfinger), others have just adjusted (I'm more of an Elinor than a Meggie now). Was over the moon that this one still rang true.
