What did you love best about Learn German: By Reading Fantasy (German Edition)?

It served both as an excellent learning tool and an interesting story.

Any additional comments?

I bought this as a tool to work on my listening comprehension for German. When I first discovered that each chapter is followed by the English translation, I was at first a bit disappointed as I originally thought this would be a full 17 hours of just German. However, since my German is only good enough to get the gist of the story, I figured I'd listen to the English translations as well to keep everything in context and to see if I was right in my understanding.

By the third chapter I found myself totally captivated by the story (and I'm not really into fantasy type stories). Certain characters grew on me while I started to really dislike others. It was a real treat to be able to work on my German comprehension while also being able to enjoy the story in detail with the English translation after each chapter. I should also note that both the German and English narrators were excellent.

The story had a pretty wide open ending so I'm really hoping that the author will make a sequel to this (it may already exist, I haven't checked).

It was well worth the money, great story and excellent tool for German learners in the B1+ intermediate-advanced area to challenge their comprehension skills.
