I really loved seeing more of the characters.

I have to admit i didn't like the writing style that much and it REALLY took me out that there were characters with normal names (vance, luisa and will), instead of just german words. I hated that decision bc it really didn't fit and took me out the whole time.

Other than that I really enjoyed Ferns and Starks Story but that was more because I love these two.

Kanne and Lawines as well as Auras Story was really interested, since we didn't see that much of them in the mangas/anime yet.

AND FRIERENS STORY MADE ME CRY. WDYM. THAT WAS SO SAD??

nice side stories, some better than others tho. writing seemed a bit amateurish at times, but enjoyable nonetheless

粉絲向作品。
算是補完裡面角色個性的。
比較讓人意外的是阿烏拉這個前面幾集的配角，卻一直出現。XD

Disfruté la lectura de este formato, es cierto que el estilo de escritura es diferente al habitual pero no me molestó. Creo que se profundizó más en el desarrollo de algunas tramas que no recibieron tanta atención en el manga.

摘句：
你知道修行最重要的的是什麼事嗎？....答案是氣勢與忍耐。（艾冉）

懷有溫情或罪惡感這類情感，以生物來說才是有缺陷的。（阿烏拉）

歡樂的回憶或想跟別人相處的情緒，說不定反而對妳造成傷害。因為我們將會託付很多東西給妳，即使那不是我們的本意。（欣梅爾）

在這條路的前方似乎有什麼在等著，包括了幸福、不幸等一切的事物。p215

"Frieren: Preludio" es una novela corta pero divertida, entretenida y que despierta el interés en entrar de lleno en este mundo. Sin duda, una gran opción rápida para relajar al lector.

With a bit of a stilted and shallow writing style, this still had its sweet moments. I especially enjoyed the short stories about Stark and Frieren.

si me conoces sabrás que estos libros no son nada mi estilo y esto te tomará por sorpresa

pero si me conoces bien, sabrás que desde que vi Frieren, no puedo hablar de ellos sin llorar
