“And it’s about what love does to you, and it’s about the fruit of love – a baby. “It’s about love,” says Funke, from her Beverly Hills home. The opening chapter describes a dark faerie watching a princess give birth. Could you please put that somewhere else?’” That’s a little drastic for our audience. “It said, ‘We love the book, Cornelia, but could you please change the first chapter? It’s a birth scene. After returning from a book tour in Germany where her publisher had released The Golden Yarn this February, Funke says she was “stunned” by the email she received from her editor at Little, Brown in the U.S., who she says was also speaking on behalf of the author’s U.K. According to Publisher’s Weekly, Funke was so upset by her publisher’s suggested changes to the book that she formed her own company to release it.Īt issue was a request by Funke’s publisher Little, Brown, to move the first chapter… to a different place in the book. It didn’t arrive without some bumps on the way, however. Her latest to arrive on American shores is the third book in the popular MirrorWorldtrilogy, which began with Reckless (2010) and Fearless (2013). Thank you to Cornelia Funke, Pushkin Press, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.Cornelia Funke is the international bestselling author of the Inkhearttrilogy and more than a dozen other novels. I’m excited to see how the adventure continues! Reckless IV: The Silver Tracks is available now. Funke’s prose is beautiful as always, painting vivid fantastical scenes for readers. The characters are lovable and readers won’t be able to help rooting for them to overcome insurmountable odds. Fox remains one of my favorite characters in the series, with her wit and resourcefulness. It was very fun to be back adventuring with Jacob and Fox, whose relationship has grown and changed since book one.
I love the way Cornelia Funke takes fairy tales that we may think we know well and effortlessly twists them into a new and compelling tale.
There are ominous new enemies, delightful old friends, and never a dull moment in this latest installment.
But danger lurks around every corner and a promise Jacob once made could undo everything they’ve worked for. Jacob and Fox are once again in search of Will, who is journeying to the island of the Foxes. Reckless IV: The Silver Tracks is the much anticipated fourth installment in Cornelia Funke’s Reckless series.
