hmm. these books are definitely fun killers-of-time. but if i wasn't so desperate to read something fluffy, i don't think these would have garnered a two from me.

Overall I enjoyed this one, but giving it 3 stars due to me being annoyed with Sophie for doing something really dumb and the adults around her going “eh, it’s no big deal.” First of all it was a big deal, and second of all that needs to be better conveyed to Sophie! Can’t just keep brushing stuff off in front of her then freaking out about it behind closed doors. While the punishment she got after almost getting the Ogre King to start throwing down in the middle of a freakin’ funeral was cruel, it was the first time it felt like Sophie faced the seriousness of her actions. While it was extreme, it’s better than “community service with your favorite alicorn” good lord I rolled my eyes at that option.
