This book is a straight girls-and-ponies story, with dragons for ponies. It is charmingly written, and an easy and enjoyable read; the characters are more than stock characters and come alive well. On the other hand, I would have liked to see a bit more character development - the relationship between Rosabella and Yu, and that between Lilja and Gefion, both could have been explored in more depth - and in all, I think it adds little to the corpus of dragon stories.

Because (presumably) this is an alternative-world story, it has a map in the endpapers like a quest fantasy; but the map actually contradicts the text, which rather spoils it. (In particular, the location of the Nihmsee is totally different.)

Next book: Der magische Drachenstein

For trade or maybe for release.

Edit: Not available any longer - I'm keeping the series now.

I am working on translating this series into English. I have now printed out and registered on BookCrossing a copy of the first book. (Although Derek Meister says that in the new edition, it will be moved to the end of the series as a prequel).
