I read them in German, so I can't comment much on that. The British like the translation, so I assume it is decent enough. German generally translates well into English, something about the cumbersome way we construct our sentences makes them seem sophisticated in direct translation.
I still kek about this piece of elven fetishism reviewing as a deep epic on English amazon.

I skimmed reviews for the English versions, and it seems they are coming across really well over there. They are called deep and slow (?) complex works with norse mythological touches.
I read them with 12 or so because I thought the cover was cool, but German is a really clumsy and majestic language, so I can imagine they gain in epicness when translated to English.
Well with English speakers liking them that much I wholeheartedly recommend them now, they greatly entertained me back then, and they are miles better than some other German fantasy *cough* Markus Heitz *cough*.
MIght give them a reread one day.
