4.0

Mir hat es wirklich gut gefallen. Es ist sehr schwer, die Vergangenheit, die sich über zwei Weltkriege zieht, von zwei Menschen so emphatisch aufzuarbeiten, dass man den Eindruck bekommt, da lernen sich zwei Menschen oder eben (Halb-) Elfen richtig kennen.
Gleichzeitig wird Spannung durch eine Prophezeiung erzeugt, die Lust auf mehr macht!
