This book is stronger and more powerful than its
predecessor and has a deeper meanings as well. It illustrates both the fact that every cloud can have its silver lining while also hinting darkly in the background that every alluring rose has its deathly spines. Never sure whether Meggie is lose in her dreamworld or in a nightmare, she wanders between fear and desire for the enchanting surprises dancing at the edges of her fingers. Truly a magnificent read and every bit an equal of Inkheart.
