Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance the Novel by Tomoco Kanemaki, Tetsuya Nomura

5.0

---

I have a deeper appreciation for "Dream Drop Distance" after reading the novel. The novel gave a more meaningful aspect to the plot in the video game. I had some questions with some of the events that happened during Sora's journey and the book gave me the answers I needed. I also got a better idea of Riku's internal struggle with his inner darkness and how Mickey hasn't forgiven himself for what happened to his friends in "Birth By Sleep". Riku and Mickey have a strong bond and it needs to be appreciated more. The best part of the story for me are the cameo appearances of the characters from "The World Ends With You" (play the games and watch the anime if you haven't). Joshua and Neku interacting with Sora and Riku was just how I pictured it. The illustrations were beautiful as always.
