She is apparently the Crystal Empire's Diamond Tiara. The "villain", if she can be called one, Olivine. Okay, I'll address my one real complaint about the book now. What follows is a little bit of a brat pony who endangers the ENTIRE CRYSTAL EMPIRE out of spite (although she didn't mean for it to go that far.), Cadance learning that her future vision shouldn't be the only thing she relies on, and some interesting thoughts on what it's like for an entire race of ponies to be gone for a thousand years. Too bad one of the fillies in the group doesn't appreciate it, and sets out to ruin everyone's time. Figuring that maybe some little foals (although the book calls them teenagers, which I had a really hard time swallowing so we'll just say they're the same age as the CMC) would like to help, she recruits a class touring the castle to come play in the dirt with her. Thus, Cadance sets off to restore the Crystal Palace's old garden in hopes of making her vision of laughing ponies come true.

What's a Princess to do?Īpparently, have a vision of the future (yeah.we'll get to that in a second) of a garden, with lots of ponies in it laughing and having a good time. She had planned to throw a huge party by gathering all the Crystal ponies and have their love power the thing, but over half the citizens are sick and can't make it. Cadance has been trying to keep it together using her magic-remember, she is the Princess of Love and the Crystal Heart is powered by Love-but it's getting harder and harder for her. After the events of The Crystalling, in which Cadance's and Shining Armor's daughter, Flurry Heart, shattered the Crystal Heart, the Crystal Heart has been a bit unstable.


So, the Crystal Empire isn't fairing too well at the moment. Oh, minor spoilers for the book too, as well as the first two episodes of season 6.

Berrow is just inventing stuff, in which case, can I get another Princess Cadance book please? Because this Alicorn has a backstory that I would like to hear. I don't know, as I haven't seen the episode(s) yet. Reader, ye be warned here and now: I'm pretty sure this book contains SPOILERS for upcoming season six episodes. Although, hers was the first, so there's that. So.this is it, right? The final Princess Book? I wonder if Twilight is jealous, because the other three got hardback books while she just got a paperback one.
