Please elaborate on this. What don't books tell you if they are the original story? Unlike the anime, it doesn't need to account for limited air time and it doesn't avoid monologues. It's a medium that's as detailed as it can get.

They're not in ALO due to circumstances forcing them. If I told you what the circumstances were, it would be a major spoiler.
