Gordon Ambos, geboren 1993 in Hannover, wuchs in einem kleinen niedersächsischen Dorf auf. Schon als Kind erfand er Geschichten, zunächst Gruselmärchen, später Fan Fictions über seine liebsten Film- und Seriencharaktere. Als Teenager stellte er fest, wie selten queere Figuren in Jugendbüchern vorkommen. Die Idee zu seinem Debütroman Das Meer dazwischen begann zu wachsen.

3,5* Also ich mag die Reihe immer noch echt gerne, aber dieser Band war irgendwie sehr kurz und inhaltsleer. Ich hoffe die Mangaka fährt die Qualität in Band 4 wieder hoch, sonst werde ich da nicht mehr lange dranbleiben.

Quotes by Gordon Ambos (?)

“Einige Minuten lang schaute ich ihn an, beobachtete, wie sich seine Nasenlöcher bei jedem Atemzug etwas weiteten. Dann zählte ich die Blondtöne in seinem Haar und kam auf drei, bis die Mittagssonne in das Zimmer strahlte und alles in ein völlig anderes Farbschema tauchte.
»Was hältst du von Birnen?«, kam es unvermittelt von Joki, der immer noch aussah, als würde er schlafen. War er etwa die ganze Zeit wach gewesen? Ertappt kniff ich die Augen zusammen.”
― Gordon Ambos, Das Meer dazwischen
