INKDEATH

Mo is now stuck as the legendary Bluejay. But no bad news to Mortimer Folchart. He is enjoying the new role. However, Meggie and Resa are not happy about this. They believe that this new role is changing Mo, the kind and warmhearted bookbinder, into the actual Bluejay- cunning, fearless and daring. Farid still longs for Dustfinger so is still working for Orpheus. Orpheus, also known as four-eyes, is changing this world. He claimes that he is a prince who can do magic. He reads in unicorns for wealth, rainbow fairies and all sorts of silly creatures. One night, Resa goes to Orpheus, believing that he would read them all home. In return, Orpheus wants Mo to summon the White Women since he was close to death when the "Magpie" shot him. He also wants to do this so that he could bring his favourite Inkworld character back to life. Guess who? Dustfinger. Resa refuses and goes home, furious. Farid goes to Mo and pleads him to agree to this. Mo does. He summons the White Women and makes a bargain. If Death releases Dustfinger and Mo, Mo will have to put an end to what he started. Write the 3 magical words and get rid of immortality in the Inkworld. If he fails, his own life will have it's end. But not only him. But Meggie as well since she helped him make the White book. Meggie is furious in the Inkworld, he believes that Mo is dead! He hasn't returned for 3 days! She blames this on Faird and Resa so she breaks up with Farid. Instead, her heart beats real fast for someone else, Doria- one of the robbers. Mo returns afterall but Meggie still doesn' forgive Resa and Farid. But Mo is not alone trying to kill the Adderhead. Or is that a good thing? Japoco's mother, Cosimo the Fair's widow and the Adderhead's very own daughter allies with Mo. Violante, a.k.a: Her Ugliness. Violante and her army of young boys join forces with Mortimer and set off to the Lake Castle, where her mother was born and stayed for ages before her father 'freed her'. Their plan was to announce that she had caught the Bluejay for adderhead to kill him, then he would bring his book along. Mo will write the 3 words in and success! Actually, it wasn't that easy. Japoco played the true hero in this episode, without him, Mo wouldn't have ever written the 3 words. THey succed and Violante became the new leader of Ombra. Also, Fenoglio discovered that Doria was one of his growmn up characters. He was an inventor and he invented flying machines and a typewriter for a close bookbinder. Plus,his wife came from far away. It was too much of a coincidence! The Folcharts and Elinor decide to stay in the Inkworld afterall with their son. The new Folchart, however, longed to see the lights in the streets and the aeroplanes in "our" world.

Inkdeath is the stunning conclusion to the trilogy. I have enjoyed this series although I would have preferred less adults taking the action and the main roles. Apart from that, I am glad that the miserable and complicated lives of the Folcharts are over.
