Hi Cornelia. I know I asked you a question before, but I have another one. :) Were you happy with the movie? Do you think they captured your characters well? I personally loved both the movie and the book...what did you think? Thanks! Graycelin

I think they captured some. Dustfinger is brilliant and Mo was of course always Brendan. Farid, Fenoglio and Meggie are wonderful too. But Elinor is wrong despite Helen Mirren being brilliant as well and Capricorn's men are not real. They feel like fake theatre villains - which is not the actors' fault. I also don't like that the story is not so much about Mo and Meggie, but about finding Resa. But....to shrink a book of several hundred pages into a movie of about 90 minutes....that always means the story changes substantially. That's why I don't allow Reckless to be adapted for film.

I've only just found out that you're writing the fourth book of the Inkworld series and that is supposed to come out next year. I really hope it can come to Portugal, either in portuguese or english. I absolutely love the series and always will. I know there's an audio reading of the first chapters in german, will there be an english version or at this point it would be better to just wait for the book?

Ich wollte erstmal sagen, dass ich deine Bücher liebe. Die Tintenherz Trilogie und die Reckless Bücher gehören zu meinen absoluten Favoriten, welche ich auch gerne öfter lese. Meine Frage war jetzt, ob du schon Ideen für kommende Bücher hast ? Und, ob es generell lange dauert sich die ganzen Details an den Geschichten einzelner Personen auszudenken ? Liebe Grüße Berit :)
