I loved this book with all my heart! Funke is a master of words; her descriptions were rich and clear, and she used metaphor and simile to great effect, visually painting the picture of the story in my mind's eye. I loved the words of this story, the plot was excellent. Rereadability is a 10 out of 10! I would put this book just one notch below Harry Potter, and that is a very high rating indeed coming from me! Can't wait to read Inkspell!
