Laura und das Geheimnis von Aventerra

The details of Aventerra feel so vivid and imaginative — I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or childhood dreams.

I was really hooked at the start, but the middle chapters felt a tad slower. Was that intentional to build suspense or just a natural part of the story?

Laura's inquisitiveness really drives the story, and I’m curious whether her character traits were based on someone the author knows or completely fictional.
