An easy read, but not much new series content

The second of a pair of Kingdom Hearts II short story collections. Containing 6 short stories, only one I would call 'original', "Last Minute to Castle Oblivion", which follows some members of Organization XIII before they head out to the titular castle. The final story toes the line, as it covers the prologue of KHII from Axel's perspective, but I don't remember anything particularly mind-blowing happening to rate it a must-read.

Like the first short story collection, the language used here, both grammar and vocab, are pretty simple. A good book to read to practice general Japanese reading for intermediate readers, perhaps. I'm not sure if I would recommend it to existing Kingdom Hearts fans, especially if you're looking for new content. Maybe go for it if you enjoyed the first short story collection and are just looking for an easy, laid-back read.
