About the author

Wolfgang Hohlbein

610 books452 followers
Wolfgang Hohlbein is a German author of science fiction, fantasy and horror fiction who lives near Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia. His wife, Heike, is also a writer and often works with her husband. She often comes up with the story ideas and therefore is generally credited as co-author. Their daughter, Rebecca, is also a writer.

Writing short stories since age 15, Hohlbein was first recognized as an author after sending in a manuscript he and his wife had written at a fantasy and science fiction writing contest in 1982. They won and their book, Märchenmond (English title: "Magic Moon"), was published by Ueberreuter Publishing, soon becoming a bestseller and winning several awards. It is one of their greatest successes till today.

Many of his more than 200 books are translated and published in many European countries as well as in South Korea. Yet for many years none of his works had been translated into English. In 2006, Magic Moon was translated into English and published in the United States.

Wer DSA mag, wird dieses Buch mögen. Es ist allerdings schon extrem düster, hart und in manchen Teilen für DSA-Verhältnisse sehr brutal. Muss man mögen. Nachdem ich die Phileasson-Saga von Hennen und Corvus gelesen habe, war das allerdings völlig im Rahmen.

Apropos Phileasson: der hat auch seinen Auftritt. Im Hörbuch (habe aus Zeitgründen in manchen Passagen zur auditiven Variante gegriffen), sprechen die Thorwaler mit friesischem Akzent...das war irritierend. ;)

Ansonsten spannend mit vielen Wendungen, Antagonisten, welche einem trotz klarer Rolle fast ans Herz wachsen und deren Beweggründe nachvollziehbar sind (besonders natürlich Zervas der Vampir).

Ich wurde sehr gut unterhalten und war mal wieder tief in Aventurien. :)
