Yeah, we have the sequel too. It's waiting for me. Lol. I just need to finish the first KH and then I can play KH2. Wooo!
In truth, I think the only reason I don't like Riku that much is because he's so popular. Oo; Pathetic, right? But really, I don't care much for his personality either. I feel bad for him though because he's just being manipulated by Maleficent. So, I know he's not really a bad guy: he's just being used. And that sucks.
I'll definitely be sure to look out for the books and give it a try. I do so love Celtic mythology/folklore. My favorite story is the story about the girl and the kelpie. And one of my favorite faes are the kelpies. Nasty creatures, but after reading the story about the girl and the kelpie, I fell in love with those evil horsies. xD;
