Celestia is my least liked princess. She always seems kinda stuck up, too regal for her own good and kinda a troll. But this comic changed how I viewed her. It was by far my favorite MLP comic period. I can't into too many details without spoiling it, but it gave me a new respect for her and made me care for her more. The comic itself was full of cameos in the background and even right up front. The ones that stuck out were Chef Gordon Ramsay, Hughie Dewie and Louie. But there were others as well. This comic was great and I’m glad I gave it a chance.

If you watch My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, you know that Princess Celestia has a school for gifted unicorns. In this story, the parents of children at this school are calling for the removal of one of the teachers, Inkwell, an older pony who has been at Celestia's side for a long time. She appears to be a bit paranoid (this Mad Eye Moony from Harry Potter) and this story explores the past events that led her current state of mind.

First of all - YES. The first page is Gordon Ramsey MLP edition is screaming at everyone as he is catering Celestia event so like ... I was full in. The only reason why I didn't give it five stars is because the story line was defiantly more than could be chewed based on the page count restriction, you could definitely feel like there was something missing. Celestia was true to her character, but that's not always a good thing since she is often passive, especially when she was using her solution "by the book: when in reality, she is the ruler of an entire country so like ... why is she letting people essentially bully her around and convince a group of ponies in a decision that they aren't really meant to be a prat of.
But I did really enjoy that we got a little more in sight of Equestria's history.

I'm annoyed the spike comic wasn't published first, because now the royal sisters aren't grouped together and that bothers me.

Other than that, this was fine. It's neat to see Celestia's school, but the actual plot felt a bit lacking - and I don't quite get the point of it all.

This book was an intense and quick read once the initial set up was finished. The book is rather like The Haunting of Hill House where the bad vibes of the house are amplified by the people. Just as there are no explicitly define ghosts in Jackson's novel, Ford's book has a few moments where it could be memory or emotion behind the ghostly phenomenon.
