INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Funke, Cornelia

Inkdeath

(4) 4-6 Translated by Anthea Bell. An enormous cast of characters parades in and out of this final installment of the trilogy, halting the pacing and complicating the plot, and also relegating Meggie's story line to a mere subplot. Nevertheless, the metafictional nature of the novel, coupled with its thematic exploration of mortality and its celebration of bookishness, should provide fans of the series with both comfort and closure.
