>>209>Which book is your personal favorite and why?I've gotta go with Rumo, mostly for sentimental reasons and because I could identify with him the most as a character.
The epic division of the story into two parts
Obenwelt & Untenwelt captivated me the most, the coming-of-age-narrative during my formative years, the characters (Rala, Smeik, Nachtigaller and his Lovecraft arc, Grinzold & Löwenzahn, Gaunab, the Blutschinks, General Ticktack, … man I fucking love this book) and overall the genuine creativity and immersive worldbuilding.
Truly vom Orm durchströmt. I consider it almost a perfect story.
City of Dreaming Books is a close second though.
Then for a long time nothing, then Ensel and Krete, the 13 1/2 Lives and the Schrecksenmeister.
The Island of a Thousand Lighthouses was a pleasant surprise recently.
A Wild Ride Through the Night deserves a honorable mention even if it's not Zamonia.
The fable book was okish but I didn't finish reading it.
The rest can (and should) be safely ignored in my opinion.
