This novel belongs to the Worlds of Power series. Therefore, I think we should mention that although it is based on Simon's Quest, it's not part of the Castlevania series. Kind of how Captain N: The Game Master borrows characters and settings from Castlevania but is not part of the actual series. Does anyone agree? Nagumo baby 10:03, May 2, 2012 (UTC)
I think so, too. It's non-canon fiction.--Kiyuhito 10:59, May 2, 2012 (UTC)
I also suspect this book might not have been licensed by Konami.

It says nowhere: "Licensed by Konami" or that the book is copyrighted by Konami. All other Castlevania fiction does say that. Nagumo baby 14:44, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
