Krabat das 4. bis 6. Jahr
I think I spent like. 20+ hours reading it .
7.5/10 raven feathers
#krabat fanfiction#krächzen#my art#a lot of things I liked; a some things I disliked#it felt like the author genuinely tried to keep everyone in character#and tried to also really flesh out the other millers-men who didn't get a spotlight in the book at all#being more than just background characters.#And ALSO trying to tie up lose ends to a bunch of questions you'd have:#Who was the master's master; what's up with Herr Gevatter and Pumphutt; what was the master's real name and what happened to him#Tonda; Worschula; Michal; Janko and his girl#(the ones who tried this entire 'speaking your love free' thing first and failed) once they died.#How would the millers-men continue on living after the mill burned down etc.#And the detail put into everyone's way of life back in those times- impressive!!! REALLY fucking impressive!#I really liked that!!! On the other hand...This might be very biased but#the spice and romance between Krabat and Kantorka (Anna) feels.... overplayed; cheap#especially the spice#I often just skipped through it#and it's so prevalent throughout the work and overly extreme too#if it wasn't so extreme and often I would give it a 9/10#I get there needs to be love between them but this felt so... I don't know thw word in english- kitschig?#corny?#it didn't feel like unique human compassion much. Like you can see with friendships between the other characters.#rather copy pasted romance/spice tropes.#the platonic bonds feel a lot more uniquely human and so much more in depth. But this is also another thing I liked about this work! :#The many unique platonic bonds with their very in character quirks depending which character it was
