Der Ruf des Frühlings

Transforming such a detailed prequel into artwork must have been challenging. I wonder what motivated this format choice and how much creative freedom it allowed.

The illustrations really brought the characters and world to life, but I'm curious if others felt it enhanced the immersion or felt disconnected at times.

The story feels brisker in this format — do you think it captures the depth of the novel, or does it lose some nuance in the visual storytelling?
