It is so freaking hard to take stories serious when the characters have ridiculously old fashioned and generally funny German names (No offense to anyone named Rüdiger, I'm sure you rock). It was so hard to stay serious. But besides that I was really surprised how well the story was executed. I probably have read similar plots and tropes of this genre a million times before, but this story just managed to feel particularly good at pacing, with enough sprinkles of originality and even a plot twist or two that actually managed to really hook me. And I guess I really was quite a fan of the character designs - personality wise.
