inkheart vs inkspell/inkdeath is one of my favorite things to rant about but like.

in inkheart dustfinger refuses to dwell on what and who he's lost because the grief is making him insane so he doesn't tell us anything and all we get about the inkworld is hateful, unreliable snippets from capricorn and basta so you think, yeah, this man is kind of a lunatic to be willing to be so horrible and to suffer so much in return for the chance to return to so little.

then you get through the rest of the series and see how extremely loved dustfinger is by so many people and it paints the first book in such a different light that it makes me rabid knowing the majority of people just stop there. like most people have to just. believe basta of all people and never know that dustfinger is being grieved by the people who raised him and grew up with him and worked with him and chose him and whose nights were less dark just because he existed. I'd burn the skin off my hands too for that kind of love.

#cmiiw but the last one is specifically for mina talking to resa about watching him perform when she was little #i think it was mina? #hm #but like im stabbing knives into both of my eyes bc basta really has been groomed into caring for no one but capricorn #he cant even fathom the love and loyalty of two little boys who decided fate brought them together bc their names both start with n #but if you only read inkheart you ALSO dont understand AHHHHHHHHHGHHHH #theres SO MUCH to miss out on how do i convince everyone on the planet to finish the series #ksjdjskka this post is brought to you by inkheart having 400k ratings on goodreads while inkdeath has 80k #im fine im so normal rn im fine it's fine #says kenna #should i keep reading im very distracted today or should i watch that movie with michelle yeoh that just won everything #OR the green knight. been wanting to see that for years. dev patel in it is exactly how i picture verity farseer so i could go for swooning #inkheart
