This second volume of Legends of Magic tells the story of how the original heroes of Equestria came together. It can also be known as The Tale of Star Swirl is a Total Jerk and Almost Destroyed the World Because He's Bad at Friendship. Great read for fans of the television show, and a fun read for younger readers!

4.5 stars

The story of how Stygian gathered the ponies of legend for their first fight. This was quite fun to read, but also a bit sad when you know of Stygian’s eventual turn to darkness.

Overall this was just a lot of fun to read.

A considerable better volume which covers how the legends of Equestria came together in the first place. It's much less campy than the previous volume but still intriguing to read nonetheless.

Ended up liking this volume considerably more than the first.

While the first volume introduces all the legends, the second one follows Stygian’s account of how he brought the Pillars of the Pony World together. Rather than a simple frame story connecting the different legends, this one has much more of a continuous flow. The frame story within a frame story worked out here.

Loved getting Stygian’s side of the story and seeing what led him to make the choices he did later in the series.

Wonderful artwork.

An engaging story that really builds out the My Little Pony universe.

Rockhoof trying to remember Flash Magnus's name was the best.
Hay Gerrick... Mare E. Allen... Winny West... this being the last place I would have expected such a thing only made it all the more hilarious.

Liked the 1st volume better but this was a good story about how the Legends all started working together. Also, Starswirl the Bearded is a jerk.

[Jules · Rating 5 out of 5]

Starswirl really is a jerk XD

[Bethany · Rating 3 out of 5]

Starswirl as the greatest villain Equestria has ever seen? yeah I can get behind that theory.

[Jasmine]

What I'm getting from this is Starswirl is definitely the bad guy.

[Cienna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Stygian and siren backstory that really adds to the fleshing out of the previous volume.

[Luly Ceballos · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Andrew · Rating 4 out of 5]

Awesome follow-up to the previous volume. It brings together the legends and bridges Equestria and Canterlot High.
