• Single Pony Book Series - The Covers and What They Are


    Over on G.M. Berrow's Twitter page, a few fans of the book series she is working on asked about a revamp on the cover art. Crystal Heart Spell in particular is a little odd, with a story covering post-season 3, but lacking wings on Twilight since they are stuck using the stock vectors Hasbro provides.   As the author of the series, Berrow doesn't have any control over the actual imagery.

    So what is the point in this post you ask?  Clarification! I think this causes a bit of confusion for the masses on what these things actually are.  At first glance, they look like the usual 30 page coloring/activity books we have seen pumped out over the last two years, but don't let the cover fool you.  These are essentially the goosebumps of pony; full on 120 page chapter books made with kids in mind. Hell, they even snuck Derpy, Trixie, and Gilda in there. 

    In other words, it might be worth it to give them a shot! Yes, they are targeted primarily at young readers, but you all should be used to that by now right?   It's the closest thing to an official episode we will get aside from the comics during the haitus, so what have you got to lose?
