The ending did not flow as nicely as I thought it would. Playing the game and then reading this book will help, as the final battle scene is kinda like blink and you miss it. Not what I expected though it did finish the story and set it up for Chain of Memories.
Final volume of the first Kingdom Hearts saga. The story is very choppy, going from one plot point to the next without much of a transition. Playing the game beforehand would help in understanding the story.
