I loved this book and the idea of this book and couldn't stop ranting and raving about it to everyone else BUT THE ENDING RUINED THE WHOLE THING FOR ME. I actually have never liked the love story of Romeo and Juliet, but at one point Romeo talks to Juliet about what their fate would have been had they lived? And for once that made sense to me why he would do what he did, but the ending was terrible. Ruined it.

Not bad. Not good. Underwhelming if that's even a word.

WOW, first book of the year! I can't believe it. I had to make a 2015 shelf for this. I had been talking about the Kingdom Hearts video game with a friend, and I remembered watching my brother play it when I was growing up. I have a serious love for all things Disney and I remembered there being a Hercules level as well, which...as a huge fan of the movie Hercules, I loved. This manga was pretty amazing considering it was my first. I had Pewdiepie's Let's plays in the background and this manga ended right where his let's plays did so I'm excited to read the others. It makes me want to actually learn to play video games to play this game. This was a super quick read and I really enjoyed it, although it was slightly hard to follow sometimes.

This one could have easily been five stars, if it didn't become SO apparent that I'm reading a fan translated copy. It's obvious that it's still the correct story, and it matches what I've seen from the game, and the movies in general, but what really got me was the translations in Agrabah. Having Jafar call Aladdin, Sora, Donald and Goofy "infidels" was a little much in my opinion, and while I thought it was really cool seeing Genie being referred to as a djinn, I wish that that would have stayed consistent, OR that they would have consistently called him Genie. Obviously a super quick read that I'm really enjoying!
