Die Thea Sisters und der Schatz im Eis

The animal characters in the story add so much charm and personality. I'm curious if there was a specific inspiration behind choosing animals as protagonists.

The buildup was exciting, but the middle felt a bit slow for me. Was that intentional to build suspense or just how the story unfolded?

The snowy landscape feels so vivid and immersive. I wonder if real places or myths inspired the world-building for this frosty world.
