About this ebook

This gorgeous illustrated picture book features a brand-new My Little Pony underwater adventure, and includes an exclusive art poster!

When Twilight Sparkle receives an invitation to visit the underwater city of Aquastria, she invites all her pony friends and Spike to travel with her. The ponies are welcomed by the ruler of Aquastria, King Leo, who sits on the Cosmic Council alongside his cousin, Princess Celestia. There is a long-held rivalry between the seaponies and the mermares. The two groups compete each year in a race for the grand prize, which is a beautiful pearl. Join the ponies and Spike as they confront danger, make new friends and race to the finish in this shimmering new world!

Ratings and reviews

As childrens books go, the story was a functional excuse for the colorful artwork and little else. Very little personality was given to any of the characters, and the events were short, sudden and forgettable. The artwork, though untrue to the source material, is quite beautiful in it's own right and the primary reason for reading and owning the book. Nothing that older fans can't afford to miss.

I only saw the sample but the illustrations are... Over detailed to the point creepy. This obviously look like a kid book for 5 years old or less.

I like it so far only if it was free so I can buy it 😣
