Nach wie vor ein Meisterwerk (Wortanspielung beabsichtigt) und mein Lieblingsjugendbuch. Seit Jahren geht mir die Erzählung um Krabat nicht aus dem Kopf und das Hörbuch hat mir bestätigt, wieso. Das Magiesystem ist faszinierend originell, die Geschichte spannend und düster sowie unglaublich intensiv erzählt. 
Den Sprecher des Hörbuchs fand ich toll. Die Charaktere fühlten sich dadurch noch echter an.

I love this book to bits but I read the German original and don't know how good the translation is. Reading it again as an adult was so much better than the first time back when I was 8. It made the whole experience more interesting.
