This first part is the promising beginning of a new children's fantasy series from Europe, the well-aimed mainly because of the young, female heroine to a female audience. First, the radio drama was only available as a download in the publisher's own online store, but now at least the first part available for purchase on CD.
This is a far as classic fantasy story for Teenimädel with attractive knights, dragons, wizards, and a young, female, independent heroine who has only once left by the small wormhole accident those pesky parents in another world and go so merrily on adventure trip can ,
My highlight is the theme song at the end, which is an absolute ear candy with its rock type, which is somewhat reminiscent of Evanescence and has already hiked in my music directory.
Part 2: 02 / Seeschrecken
Lea has to cross on their journey to the council of a sea dragon in an old boat which is also attacked by a swarm of dragons while nearly goes down. During this very unpleasant trip the sailors rescue even the mermaid Lavinia out of the water, which has blurred itself. But that turns out to be serious mistake, because not only distorts the beautiful mermaid all men aboard his head, angry Seeschrecken have targeted them and want to kill them. Unfortunately, they get their place Lea and kidnap her in her underwater kingdom. Now good advice is expensive.
This second part of the series is somewhat weaker and much more predictable than the opener, but still solid, classic fantasy entertainment. As a target group, I would no longer necessarily just the straight Bibbi Blocksberg outgrown girls view like the first part, but it comes slowly in all age direction. This time there are first personalities of a sexual nature between Lavinia and the sailors. Leas modern brash manner that does not fit in this ancient world is very refreshing and always surprising.
Lavinia is spoken by Ulrike Stürzbecher that I know mainly as Dr. Grey of Grey's Anatomy, and so saw my Lavinia then also made that fit really well.
