Timoken und der Trank der Unsterblichkeit

The concept of a hidden magical realm feels so timeless and enchanting. I wonder if the author drew from childhood fantasies or folklore in creating this setting.

While I loved the world-building, I found myself wishing for a bit more action or discovery. Was that a deliberate choice to build atmosphere?

The protagonist feels so authentic and relatable for kids. I'm curious whether this was based on personal experiences or a deliberate writing decision.
