True. I guess part of my problem is that when I think of ‘children’s literature’ I think of things I read growing up like Treasure Island, Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Black Beauty, and King Solomon’s Mines. I just wish some of the MLP novels for kids were a little better done, arrogant as that is.
 
True, even If I enjoyed the book, I wished it had more details. They could have made the book a lot longer with exactly the same plot, just with a better description of the places she travels and the things that happens to her.
 
Bad they have to stuck with this 122 pages format like the chapter books…
 
Maybe the author doesn’t want to give much details in order to not contradict the movie (it already has contradictions with the show), so most of them are pretty vague.
 
I don’t think it’s fair to compare these books with this one. Those were epic books that became famous by their own, written by extremely talented and well known writers. This one is written by an average professional writer who does stuff based on movies, not a master mind that creates full worlds on their own.

Has anyone else actually read the book? I just did today and while I think kids will like it, it had some odd moments. (Warning, spoilers.) Like Tempest leaving Canterlot as a filly after Cadance became Princess of the Crystal Empire and apparently wandering for several years before joining with the Storm King.

It’s basically Starlight backstory except that Cutie Marks are replaced with horns.
 
Not really, no. Starlight’s belief that cutie-marks were the sole reason for the divide between her and Sunburst was something conjured up entirely in her own mind. Tempest, on the other hand, felt a rift forming between her and her friends because she did actually suffer from a physical debilitation. Unlike Starlight, she is legitimately unable to perform the magic that her friends can and join them at Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns.

Starlight didn’t get her cutie mark at the same time as Sunburst, she was physically fine
 
Tempest got knocked against a cave wall and her horn broke which is a physical piece of her body
 
Those are definitely different

Another interesting thing from the preview is that horns can grow back. Since Tempest’s horn is still broken the damage must’ve been pretty serious.
 
Also her excuse for becoming a villain is pretty weak. It’s basically Starlight backstory except that Cutie Marks are replaced with horns.

So it doesn’t have anything to do with the movies plot or the rest of her dark design. They wrote this so they could explain away the broken horn in their design.

Yeah, she just got hit by a Ursa Minor when she was a filly. I mean, it didn’t hurt at all. It was just a giant bear against a kid. And got her head knocking into a wall. Just so you know, that isn’t the “real text”, the text in the image is from different pages.

What would you guys think about it if tempest shadow took out one or both of the minor or majors eyes.
 
I still think it would still be wrong to hurt a baby but what do you guys think.

Jesus, if a Ursa MINOR can hurt a unicorn THAT bad, I don’t want to immagine what a Ursa MAJOR could do…
