i will never understand why the Reckless series by Cornelia Funke never got mainstream popular since it's so god damn good but at the same time it holds such a special place in my heart that i'm glad i get to gatekeep it from booktok's weird opinions

Can we just talk about the fact that the fandom is so small? Seriously, books are absolutely awesome, Cornelia offers us a whole universe, and there are twenty people who talk about it? The fourth book was not even translated into French (I am French, but luckily I know enough about English to be able to read the book in that language anyway.) Why are there so many people talking about these books?
